Heroku has announced Heroku Enterprise for Java, a new service for companies and IT organizations to build and run Java applications in the cloud.
Enterprise for Java is designed to enable quick creation and deployment of enterprise Java applications. It also greases the skids to move development processes to a continuous delivery model, all without traditional, on-premises software or IT infrastructure. Enterprise for Java is part of the Salesforce Platform, which is being updated and expanded this week at Dreamforce in San Francisco.
Traditionally, creating Java applications applications has required piecing together both a range of development and runtime infrastructure tools — such as source-code control systems, continuous integration servers, testing and staging environments, load balancers, application server clusters, databases and in-memory caching systems.
