Connect Heroku to Zed

Give Zed governed access to Heroku through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.

Set up

Add Heroku to Zed in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Zed then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Heroku in Runlayer

    Add Heroku from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect Zed to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches Heroku’s tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Heroku

    An admin adds Heroku credentials to Runlayer once. They never sit in the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Heroku from Zed

    Heroku’s approved tools appear in Zed. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

Heroku tools in Zed

Heroku reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Zed

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Zed exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Heroku call from Zed passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Zed as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Zed yet, so control happens at the gateway.
