  8. How Integrate.io Can Help You Prepare for Top Heroku Events in 2023

Heroku remains one of the most popular PaaS (platforms as a service) on the market in 2023, despite being one of the oldest. Salesforce functions with Heroku data, so there is a lot you can do via Heroku Connect: access Heroku Postgres, publish events with Apache Kafka, and optimize data access overheads with Heroku Data for Redis. You can easily turn your startup or established company into one that provides apps for its clients.

As a PaaS, Heroku always has something exciting to offer. That’s why developers and technology enthusiasts flock to the top Heroku events to find out what’s new with the platform. The developer experience at these conferences includes access to speakers who offer best practices and use cases.

Sadly, many events were canceled or postponed in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even top Heroku events hosted by the company itself were called off. However, many in-person, virtual, and hybrid events continue to be scheduled for 2023, so you can start planning now. 

Many companies are collaborating with and using Heroku. That's just like what Integrate.io did when we offered our data integration service as part of the software solution for the MDA Kevin Hart Kids Telethon. Attending a range of conferences helps developers or DevOps teams understand all aspects of Heroku, including Heroku Postgres, Heroku apps, Heroku Connect, Heroku Enterprise, workflows, permissions, continuous delivery, authentication, functionality, and the Heroku dashboard. 

To slake the thirst of web app developers and their teams hunting for top Heroku events, we’ve picked out the best conferences and trade shows for 2023. 

RailsConf 2023

Date: April 24 to April 26, 2023

Location: AmericasMart Atlanta in Atlanta, GA (in-person)

Pricing: To be confirmed. Group discounts were available in 2021.

Ruby on Rails users and contributors who use the Heroku platform for their deployment should take a look at this 3-day event in April. RailsConf will take place in a conference center for the second time since 2019, but attendees will likely be able to access keynote speeches and networking opportunities online. This is a diverse, exciting opportunity to connect with the wider community. Thousands of members of the Rails community contribute toward improving and updating the framework, so the conference is an ideal way to put faces to names and make relevant connections. 

Key speakers are to be announced, but you could learn more about tech ecosystems, dev centers, runtime, open-source Heroku alternatives, metrics, data stores, data services, Heroku add-on services, upgrades, and build packs. Last year’s event speakers included Eileen M. Uchitelle of GitHub, Aaron Patterson of Shopify, and Vaidehi Joshi of Vimeo. You can watch the 2022 RailsConf videos on YouTube.
