Recently, the Judoscale team reached out to Heroku for clarification after the platform announced a shift to a sustaining engineering model, which they claimed would mean the end of new feature development. However, Heroku has since launched new features, leaving many users puzzled about the company's direction.

Honestly, it feels more like a messaging issue. If they're saying it's maintenance mode but continue to ship updates, it can make users feel uneasy about transparency. They need to either clarify their goals or pick a clearer position.

I guess the team might have been downsized, leading to them focusing on minor improvements without the heavy demands from enterprise clients. Plus, with the rise of AI tools, productivity could have increased, allowing them to roll out updates faster than expected.

The whole situation feels a bit like they’re just vibing and coding on the side! They’ve thrown the definition of ‘features’ into question, and that doesn’t help their image at all.

It seems like the wording around the sustaining engineering model was a bit confusing. I think they just haven't figured out what to do with Heroku since the buyout. It was great when it was functioning well, but now I’m skeptical about their plans moving forward.
