Case Study: LaunchPad Lab achieves faster app delivery and reduced DevOps overhead with Heroku

Heroku is the Go-To App Platform for Software Development Firm LaunchPad Lab

LaunchPad Lab is a Chicago-based full‑service web and mobile app studio that uses a user‑centric approach to solve business problems across healthcare, e‑commerce, finance, IoT and more. Their recurring challenges include translating diverse client needs into robust products, handling complex data migrations and IoT integrations, and delivering enterprise‑grade security and scalability without imposing heavy DevOps burdens on clients.

To address this, LaunchPad Lab standardizes on Heroku—leveraging Heroku Postgres, Add‑ons, Heroku Connect, Heroku Buttons and Heroku Enterprise—to eliminate infrastructure management, enable polyglot development, streamline data imports, and integrate with Salesforce. The outcome is faster time‑to‑market, lower operational costs and greater reliability and security for clients, exemplified by projects like Conifer’s video platform and Breadcrumb’s IoT app.
