SolarWinds will introduce Pingdom service as its newest add-on to Heroku Elements Marketplace at Dreamforce in San Francisco September 15-18. Pingdom provides powerful web performance monitoring and joins current top Heroku add-ons of the Librato and Papertrail services to complete the SolarWinds full-stack Heroku monitoring solution.

SolarWinds is one of six companies that will partner with Salesforce’s cloud application platform, Heroku, within the Developer Zone. There, SolarWinds will showcase Pingdom, Librato and Papertrail, its cloud monitoring solutions now available in Heroku’s Elements Marketplace of verified tools that provide extra services to support the platform as a service (PaaS) offering.

“SolarWinds already features two of the most popular solutions for Heroku developers with Librato and Papertrail, and now Pingdom brings web performance monitoring to complete the picture,” said Peter Cho, Head of Heroku's Ecosystem Program. “As more developers build their applications on Heroku, they can benefit from the full-stack monitoring capabilities that SolarWinds offers and that many Heroku customers already use and love."
