Through https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/regions I see that for heroku common runtime spaces heroku has two available regions: Europe and United States. But I couldn't find exactly in any official documentation which region exactly of United States heroku hosts the application. For example I want to know if it hosts on east, west, north, south.
Thanks
The Heroku US region is AWS's us-east-1. EU is eu-west-1. That makes the US region located in North Virginia, and EU in Ireland.
AWS: the Key Differences. Heroku is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that is actually built on top of AWS. Heroku takes a curated selection of the services and capabilities available from AWS and packages them into an easy-to-use solution for application development.
If you need maximum performance Heroku recommends a multi-process multi-threaded server, we currently recommend Puma. If you do not specify a web server in your Procfile , it is likely that you're running WEBrick in production.
Heroku allows developers to quickly and almost painlessly deploy an application on a web server. It also provides a lot of plugins that you can integrate into your application.

How about using Heroku? Heroku is a hosting platform where you can deploy dynamic applications in Rails, PHP, Node.js, and Python web applications. In this guide, I will be showing you how to host apps with it.
The difference with Heroku is that you can indefinitely run up to 100 backend apps at the same time for free. Does Heroku have a limit? Calls to the Heroku API are limited to a rate of at most 4500 calls per hour. Can I host my app on Heroku? You need to use the Git command in order to deploy your application to Heroku.
Click on the repo that you want to host. Finally, Click on the Deploy Branch button at the bottom to host it. You can access it by going to this URL https:// [appname].herokuapp.com. The second method is using the official Heroku CLI (Command Line Interface). For this, you must first install Heroku CLI.

EU is eu-west-1
.
That makes the US region located in North Virginia, and EU in Ireland.
As the URL you posted, just follow their command in your own terminal shell:
$ heroku regions --common
ID Location Runtime
── ───────────── ──────────────
eu Europe Common Runtime
us United States Common Runtime
Then use the curl
as they suggest, just change the /regions/frankfurt
to the region ID you want (i.e. us
)
$ curl -n -X GET https://api.heroku.com/regions/us -H "Accept: application/vnd.heroku+json; version=3"

Here you are: "locale":"Virginia"
Damien got you the answer, I just reconfirm if there is any changes by running all those commands.
The Heroku US region is AWS's us-east-1. EU is eu-west-1.

The other answers are great, but a simpler way to view the details about the regions is to run heroku regions --common --json
, which outputs pretty formatted JSON:
