Heroku Health Check

Optimise Performance, Eliminate Waste, Save Thousands!

Your team ships fast with Heroku — but over time, small inefficiencies become big costs.


We audit your entire setup to make sure you're:

  • Not overpaying for unused dynos or services
  • Running a reliable, performant architecture
  • Compliant with best practices for scale and security
  • Set up for rapid, low-friction deployments


At Showoff, our Heroku Health Check isn’t just a quick look — it’s a comprehensive audit of your entire Heroku architecture. We assess every component to ensure you’re getting maximum value: from dynos and add-ons to database usage and scaling strategy. By doing this, we help you avoid overpaying for idle resources while making sure your application runs reliably and efficiently.


We also evaluate your app’s performance posture. This includes spotting bottlenecks, checking response times, and ensuring you’re making full use of Heroku’s monitoring tools. If your app runs in a Private Space, we dig into Heroku’s routing health metrics to detect any latent issues in the network layer.


Moreover, we review your monitoring and alerting setup — making sure you’re using tools like threshold alerting and logging properly. These tools help you get notified of response-time spikes or error rate increases before they turn into major problems.


Finally, we don’t just identify problems — we give actionable recommendations. Whether it’s restructuring your dyno layout, implementing better health endpoints, or fine-tuning your database configurations, we provide clear steps and priorities so you can improve your architecture immediately.
