Heroku to PostgreSQL Integration

How Datrise loads Heroku into PostgreSQL

Datrise syncs Heroku's apps, dynos, releases, add-ons, config vars, and build logs into PostgreSQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in jsonb columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as timestamptz.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional declarative range partitioning by load date for high-volume tables. PostgreSQL folds unquoted identifiers to lowercase, so Datrise normalizes mixed-case source fields to snake_case.

Ideal for operational analytics and application backends that need fresh, queryable copies of your data.

Endpoints

Heroku: Application platform with dynos and add-ons.

PostgreSQL: Open-source relational database with strong SQL and extensions.

How Heroku entities map to PostgreSQL

Heroku entity	PostgreSQL object	Notes
apps	`heroku_apps`	id PK · custom fields → jsonb columns
dynos	`heroku_dynos`	id PK · linked to heroku_apps
releases	`heroku_releases`	id PK · linked to heroku_apps
add-ons	`heroku_add_ons`	id PK · linked to heroku_apps

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Heroku's custom fields in PostgreSQL?

Flexible values are stored as jsonb columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native PostgreSQL types.

How does the Heroku to PostgreSQL sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
