🚀 App Build Settings: A Fresh Look & Powerful New Features

We've given the App Build settings tab a complete makeover! Beyond the sleek new interface, we've introduced three functionalities:

✨ New Features:

• Docker Registry Credentials — Now you can seamlessly connect to private registries for your Dockerfile base images

• Buildpack Builder Selection — Conveniently update your builders:

  • heroku/builder:22
  • heroku/builder:24

• Build Environment Visibility — We've added visibility for build environment settings associated with each deployment, and included a button for easy modification of those settings above the deploy logs

PostGIS is now available for our PostgreSQL databases! 🌍

Many of you have asked for PostGIS support, and we're announcing that it's now available for PostgreSQL 13+ databases!

PostGIS is a spatial database extension for PostgreSQL, allowing you to store and query geographic information. With PostGIS, you can:

• Store and manage spatial data types like points, lines, and polygons
• Perform spatial queries to analyze and visualize your data
• Build location-aware applications and services

To enable PostGIS, simply create a new PostgreSQL 13+ database and make sure you tick the "PostGIS" option during the creation process.

Integration with Deploy Hooks! 🚀

We're excited to introduce Deploy Hooks, making automated deployments even easier!

With Deploy Hooks, you can now trigger deployments with a simple POST request to a unique URL, perfect for integrating with your workflow. This powerful feature enables:

• Seamless CI/CD integration: Connect your GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI tools
• Automated deployments: Trigger updates when your content or data changes
• Custom workflow support: Build scripts that deploy your apps when needed

Introducing IP Access Controls for applications! 🔒

We've just rolled out powerful new IP restriction capabilities for your app hosting environments:

• IP Allowlists: Create a trusted circle of approved IP addresses
• IP Denylists: Block specific troublesome IPs or ranges

Both features support individual addresses or CIDR notation for precise network control. Simply choose which approach works best for your security model (note: only one mode can be active at a time).

This highly-requested security enhancement gives you granular control over who can access your applications. 🛡️

Preview apps now support advanced pre-configuration! 🔮

You can now pre-define your preview apps with both disk configurations and TCP proxies right from the start.

We've also published the "createPreviewApp" endpoint in our public API, enabling programmatic creation of fully-configured preview environments.

Happy testing with your supercharged preview apps! 🚀
