# Use Cases
This page lists a subset of use cases for [Terraform](/intro/index.html). Due to its extensible nature, providers and provisioners
can be added to further extend Terraform's ability to manipulate resources.

## Heroku App Setup
Heroku is a popular PaaS for hosting web apps. Developers create an app, and then attach add-ons, such as a database, or email provider. One of the best features is
the ability to elastically scale the number of dynos or workers. However, most
non-trivial applications quickly need many add-ons and external services.

One of the best features is the ability to elastically scale the number of dynos or workers. However, most non-trivial applications quickly need many add-ons and external services.
You can use Terraform to codify the setup required for a Heroku application, ensuring that all the required add-ons are available, but it can go even further: configuring DNSimple to set a CNAME, or setting up Cloudflare as a CDN for the app. Best of all, Terraform can do all of this in under 30 seconds without using a web interface.
