Heroku outperforms Facebook SDK in 7 of 7 categories, with a stronger composite score (76 vs 72). Facebook SDK leads in no categories.
Facebook SDK doesn't clearly lead Heroku in any category on the sampled sites — pick it based on developer experience, ecosystem, or existing team skills rather than the audit scores.
Choose Heroku when your primary concern is server response time and performance. Its audit data shows consistent strength in these areas across the sampled sites.
Scores are medians across 636 audited Facebook SDK sites and 10 audited Heroku sites in the BeaverCheck database. Every audit runs the same 100+ checks — Lighthouse performance, security headers, accessibility, SEO, server response time — against a real URL. No vendor input, no sponsorship, no affiliate links.
