Question 1

Is Heroku down right now?

Accepted Answer

No — Heroku is not down. All Heroku systems are reported operational. Checked at 2026-09-23T17:24:53.837Z.

Question 2

What is Heroku's status right now?

Accepted Answer

Heroku is reporting "All Systems Operational" on its official status page — Operational — as of 2026-09-23T17:24:53.837Z. That status feed answered isuptime's last check in 1779 ms. isuptime reads this from Heroku's own published feed and does not test Heroku independently.

Question 3

What is Heroku's uptime?

Accepted Answer

isuptime does not measure Heroku's uptime directly — it reads Heroku's own published status feed. Over the last 30 days, Heroku's own status feed reported no outage in 100.00% of isuptime's checks. Periods the provider called degraded count as no-outage, and this is isuptime's own measurement, not a contractual SLA.

Question 4

Is it just me, or is Heroku down for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Heroku reports all systems operational, so the problem is likely local to your network, browser or account. Try a different network or device.

Question 5

Heroku says operational but it is not working for me — why?

Accepted Answer

Check `heroku logs --tail` for your app before assuming a platform problem: an H10 app crash, an H12 request timeout at 30 seconds, or an R14 memory quota exceeded are all your dyno rather than Heroku. Eco dynos sleep when idle and are slow on the first request. Add-on outages are posted by the add-on provider, not on Heroku's status page.

Question 6

What does Heroku's status page actually cover?

Accepted Answer

Heroku's status API reports two environments separately — Production and Development — and isuptime reads the Production one, since that is what running applications depend on. Heroku's colour scheme is worth knowing: green is fine, blue means maintenance, yellow is degraded and red is an outage. isuptime treats maintenance as degraded rather than as an outage, because scheduled work is announced and expected.

Question 7

What can I use instead of Heroku while it is down?

Accepted Answer

Render (operational), Vercel (operational). Each state was read from that provider's own status feed at 2026-09-23T17:24:53.837Z, in the same round as Heroku's, so the readings are comparable in time. Check the substitute is up before moving work to it.

Question 8

Is anything else down right now, or is it just Heroku?

Accepted Answer

As of 2026-09-23T17:24:53.837Z, 9 other services isuptime tracks were also reporting a problem: Cloudflare (Minor Service Outage); Twilio (Partially Degraded Service); Supabase (Partially Degraded Service); Elastic (Partial System Outage); Cursor (Partially Degraded Service); Scaleway (Partially Degraded Service); Snowflake (Partially Degraded Service); Salesforce (Degraded Performance: 1 active incident); PlayStation Network (PlayStation Store affected in Russia). All are checked on one schedule, so the timing is directly comparable — but overlapping in time does not establish a shared cause.
