shadowsocks-heroku is a lightweight tunnel proxy which can help you get through firewalls. It is a port of shadowsocks, but through a different protocol.
shadowsocks-heroku uses WebSocket instead of raw sockets, so it can be deployed on Heroku.
Notice that the protocol is INCOMPATIBLE with the origin shadowsocks.
