Heroku Integration Service Mesh

The Heroku Integration Service Mesh is a software layer that front's Heroku Integration managed apps providing connected client communication authentication. It accompanies the Heroku Integration add-on.

Overview

The Heroku Integration Service Mesh is installed by Heroku Buildpack for Heroku Integration Service Mesh, is started in the app's Procfile web process type, and listens on external $PORT. Service mesh Managed apps listen on internal $APP_PORT.

The Heroku Integration Service Mesh provides the following capabilities:

• App startup and health: With a provided app startup command, the service mesh ensures that the app is running and healthy.
• Authentication: Only connected clients can only invoke a target service mesh managed app. Each app is connected to a Salesforce or Data Cloud org by a developer or admin via the Heroku Integration CLI plugin. Each request travels with a secure identity that is then validated and authenticated by the Heroku Integration Service Mesh and Heroku Integration add-on.
• Metrics: The service mesh captures request metrics.
