Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Heroku app showing H10 or H12 errors?

H10 (App crashed) and H12 (Request timeout) may occur during Heroku outages or due to app issues. Check our status above. If Heroku is up, review your app logs with 'heroku logs --tail' and check for memory or timeout issues.

Why are my Heroku dynos restarting?

Dynos restart daily and during platform maintenance. During outages, you may see unexpected restarts. Check Heroku status for scheduled maintenance. Enable Heroku's app metrics to monitor dyno health and memory usage.

Is Heroku Postgres affected during outages?

Heroku Postgres may be affected during major platform outages. Check the Data component status. Your database typically remains operational during routing/dyno issues. Implement connection pooling with PgBouncer for reliability.

How do I check Heroku build failures?

Build failures during outages appear in the Activity tab or via 'heroku releases'. If Heroku is operational, check your Procfile, buildpacks, and ensure your app compiles locally before pushing.
