The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive explanation of Heroku's purpose, target users, pricing model, and competitive positioning — but had to rely heavily on web search and third-party articles because Heroku.com itself served truncated or minimally detailed HTML responses. The official site proved difficult to parse; the agent extracted most substantive information from external comparison and pricing breakdown articles, then cited those sources explicitly.

• ›Official Heroku pages (steps [1], [2], [3], [6], [8]) returned truncated HTML with no readable content; the agent could not extract answers directly from heroku.com itself despite multiple fetch attempts.
• ›The agent filled the gap by relying on web search results (steps [7], [14], [15]) and third-party analysis articles (steps [9], [11], [12], [16], [17]) that provided clear comparisons, pricing tables, and strategic context—including the February 2026 maintenance-mode announcement that Heroku's own marketing site does not surface.
• ›Heroku.com does not publish machine-readable pricing details, competitive positioning, or company status changes in a form the agent could extract; the site appears to be a WordPress instance with JavaScript-heavy rendering that failed to decompress in the fetches, making it opaque to automated reading.
• ›The agent successfully identified and cited external sources but explicitly called out that the official Heroku pricing page is 'light on details' and lacks TCO transparency—a sign the site underserves discovery and evaluation tasks.
• ›The most critical information for the task (that Salesforce paused feature development in 2026) was not found on heroku.com; it came entirely from third-party blogs, indicating the site does not clearly communicate its own strategic status to visitors.
