Heroku is a cloud Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) supporting several programming languages that is used as a web application deployment model.

Heroku, one of the first cloud platforms, has been in development since June 2007, when it supported only the Ruby programming language, but now supports Java, Node.js, Scala, Clojure, Python, PHP, and Go.

For this reason, Heroku is said to be a polyglot platform as it lets the developer build, run and scale applications in a similar manner across all the languages.

Heroku was acquired by Salesforce.com in 2010.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a provider of digital marketing automation and analytics software and services.

It was founded in 2000 under the name ExactTarget.

The company filed for an IPO in 2007, but then withdrew its filing two years later and raised $145 million in funding.

It acquired CoTweet, Pardot, iGoDigital and Keymail Marketing.

In 2012, it raised $161.5 million in an initial public offering, before being acquired by Salesforce for $2.5 billion in 2013.

ExactTarget was renamed to Salesforce Marketing Cloud in 2014 after the acquisition by Salesforce.

Salesforce.com (styled in its logo as salesƒorce) is an American cloud computing company headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Though its revenue comes from a customer relationship management (CRM) product, Salesforce also capitalizes on commercial applications of social networking through acquisition.

As of early 2016, it is one of the most highly valued American cloud computing companies with a market capitalization above $55 billion, although the company has never turned a GAAP profit in any fiscal year since its inception in 1999.

In computer programming, an Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of subroutine definitions, protocols, and tools for building application software.

In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication between various software components.

A good API makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer.

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.

It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over an electricity network.
