Table: heroku_app - Query Heroku Apps using SQL

Heroku is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) that lets companies build, deliver, monitor, and scale apps. Heroku is flexible for both developers and enterprises, offering add-on services, including data services, utility services, and more. The platform also supports several programming languages, including Java, Node.js, Scala, Clojure, Python, PHP, and Go.

Table Usage Guide

The heroku_app table provides insights into the apps within Heroku. As a developer or system administrator, you can explore app-specific details through this table, including the app's unique ID, name, owner, and team. You can also gain insights into the app's stack, region, and maintenance status, which can be crucial for app maintenance, development, and scaling strategies.

Important Notes

Get queries require an app id.
Pagination is not currently supported for this resource type in the SDK.

Examples

List all apps

Explore the names and web URLs of all applications within your Heroku platform. This can be useful for a quick overview of all your applications, or to find the web URL of a specific application.

select
  name,
  web_url
from
  heroku_app;

select
  name,
  web_url
from
  heroku_app;

Apps by region

Explore which regions have the most Heroku apps deployed. This can help you understand the geographical distribution of your applications and inform decisions about where to focus resources.

select
  region ->> 'name' as region_name,
  count(*)
from
  heroku_app
group by
  region_name;

select
  json_extract(region, '$.name') as region_name,
  count(*)
from
  heroku_app
group by
  region_name;

Apps that have not changed for 30 days or more

Explore which applications have remained static for over a month. This can be useful for identifying potentially outdated or unused apps that may require updates or removal.

select
  name,
  web_url,
  updated_at
from
  heroku_app
where
  updated_at < now() - interval '30 days';

select
  name,
  web_url,
  updated_at
from
  heroku_app
where
  updated_at < datetime('now', '-30 days');

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- heroku

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_heroku --config '<your_config>' heroku_app
