Heroku Description

Heroku is a cloud platform that allows companies to build, deliver and monitor apps. We're the fastest way to get from idea to URL without all the infrastructure headaches. "There's an App for That" - a catchy marketing campaign only a few years back introduced the world to a new relationship between the mobile phone and the world. Apps are now a part of our daily lives. Apps and their underlying APIs, whether mobile or web, are how we manage our lives and make purchases, interact with customers, stay informed, socialize, and stay informed. When customers interact with an app, it starts to impact the world. Companies can be saved or destroyed by getting apps out there, on the Internet quickly, and iterating fast. Heroku is relentlessly focused on apps and the developer experience. Heroku allows companies of all sizes to embrace the value of apps and not the distractions of hardware or servers - virtual or real.

It is so simple that if you even have some basic knowledge of Git and Github you can easily master this technology. You can log the errors. And you can deploy your different project in this.

    Great for quickly spinning up an app, to get some user feedback

    Date: Aug 17 2020

    Summary: One of my favorite go-tos when creating an app at a hackathon or making a quick demo prototype. Saves the trouble of registering a domain name and all.

    Positive: Whether you're at a hackathon or just quickly prototyping a new app for your company, chances are high you want real users to be able to try your app. You could just host it on a localhost, but that means you can't direct people to a proper URL. Heroku allows you to do that.

    Negative: I first heard of Heroku back in 2015 and a few years later I swear I heard it was shutting down? But apparently it's still usable, so I'm not sure what exactly was going on. Company communications can be better, in this regard.
