What Does It Mean When Heroku Says Sharable Across Apps?

Heroku allows approved Add-On’s (like XL Routes Static and XL Routes Shield) to be Sharable Across Apps. But what does that even mean?

It’s pretty simple actually…“Sharable Across Apps” simply means you can use one XLRoutes subscription (2 IPs) across as many applications as you wish. You can decide that you want to make one per application or share them across multiple apps.

Keep in mind that unless you are getting an Enterprise plan or higher and specific request it, you are getting a set a shared IPs.

So if you want different IPs for every app, we can help you with that, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t used by other people.

If you have a specific use case that you want to talk out with us to take advantage of the Sharable Across Apps capabilities, write us at Support any time. We’re always here to help!
