Today’s software organizations need the ability to process and respond to this rich stream of real-time data. That’s why they adopt an event-driven architecture (EDA) for their applications.

Sometimes your data grows and requires a bigger disk without a need for more compute or memory. Previously, our offerings were a bit too inflexible. We also didn’t want to limit our largest database at 4TB. We released new Heroku Postgres plans that give you more flexibility when scaling up your database storage needs on Heroku. We heard from our customers that they want to be able to upgrade disk space without adding other resources like vCPU or memory. In response, we created new L and XL plans with increased disk limits for premium , private , and shield tiers…

Your new database defaults to Postgres 15. If you already have a Heroku Postgres database on an older version, we make the upgrade process simple. And if you are still on one of the deprecated versions,…
