Note For Deploying App To Heroku

Heroku is a very convenient platform for developers to deploy their app, not only quickly but also simply!

App Deployment

1. setup toolbelt

2. modify the port setting of your app

   (process.env.PORT || 5000)

3. define a Procfile into your root directory

   web: node index.js

4. create repo in heroku

   heroku create

5. push changes to remote branch of heroku

   git push heroku master

6. scale to one dyno for test

   heroku ps:scale web=1
