      What is Five?

      It is a low-code development environment that helps software developers build and deploy custom business applications faster by providing them with pre-built components that can be mixed with full code almost anywhere. Five is fully extensible through SQL, JavaScript, and TypeScript.

      What is Heroku?

      Heroku is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. Heroku lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.
