What is Heroku?

  • Heroku is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) that enables developers to easily host (deploy), monitor and scale their applications

  • Supports many different languages (Node.js (JavaScript), Ruby, Python, Jav, PHP, etc) and supports virtually any type of application (from static websites to server-backed applications connected to a database)

  • Heroku’s focus is to take the pain of deploying applications and maintaining environment (server updates & scalability, database backups, etc) so developers can focus solely on building their applications
