Is Heroku down?
◌ Checking live status…
Heroku is a platform & SaaS service on the 503Radar board. We watch Apps / Runtime, Data and Tools / Dashboard for outage signals — public crowd chatter, first-party visitor reports and Heroku's official status feed, fused into one honest verdict that often surfaces ahead of the official record.

honest answersIs Heroku down right now?
The live verdict is at the top of this page. 503Radar fuses crowd reports from public platforms with Heroku's official status feed; when independent sources spike together we raise a signal — often before the official status page updates. If the radar is quiet, we have no evidence of a Heroku outage right now.
How does 503Radar detect Heroku outages?
We monitor public outage chatter across forums, social platforms and developer communities, first-party "seeing this too" reports from visitors, and the official Heroku status page (status.heroku.com). A statistical anomaly across two or more independent evidence classes becomes a Signal; an official acknowledgement upgrades it to Confirmed. The full pipeline is documented on our methodology page — no black boxes.
Why is Heroku not working for me?
If 503Radar shows no elevated signals, the problem may be on your side: connectivity, DNS, a VPN or browser extension, or an account-specific issue. Try another network or device and check status.heroku.com for maintenance notices. You can also file a report here — enough independent reports from different countries open a community watch on the board.
