Perhaps you are new to Heroku or are someone who has heard about Heroku but have not built anything significant with it. You should have knowledge or familiarity with cloud computing and basic knowledge of database and network deployment.What You Will Learn Recognize the components of the Heroku infrastructure and how they work together to give a seamless platform experience Write an application using any supported language (Ruby, Java, PHP, Python, and more) and deploy it easily and instantly Run and scale your cloud application on demand using a variety of useful Heroku commands Secure and debug your cloud application faster using popular techniques and tools Reuse the provided samples to build agile and robust applications Extend your application features by using simple plugins and add-ons Manage all your applications intuitively using the one-stop Heroku dashboard In DetailHeroku is one of the leading cloud platforms supported by several programming languages. It lets you develop applications without worrying about the infrastructure. You can instantly build, deploy, and troubleshoot the most advanced and robust cloud applications using a rich set of available tools. Just write your application and leave the rest to Heroku. Heroku helps you build the most feature-rich web applications using add-ons and multiple data sources that can be easily configured. This book is about Heroku, but more importantly, it is about the ease with which a developer with limited availability or knowledge of deployment infrastructure can run and manage a cloud app 24/7/365.
