Tell us about what you're trying to solve. What challenges are you facing?
Currently there's no in-platform way to have Heroku add some sort of simplistic auth for apps. This might be useful to provide a measure of protection for non-production apps. Currently Heroku customers have to add this with language-specific libraries.
It'd be nice if Heroku could handle this concern in the platform. We could for example offer basic-auth+TLS where customer defines user-name / password and the check is implemented in the Heroku routing layer. Alternatively (or additionally) we could also offer stronger authentication schemes.
