Step 8: Heroku

Heroku is a cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) that enables you to easily deploy your server. By taking care of most things related to deployment, Heroku makes it easy to get your server up and running.

Before we get started, you must create a free Heroku account (sign up).

Login to your Heroku account and create a (free) Heroku app.

Once the app is created, open the Settings tab to select a "build pack.”

In the next step we prepare the hello-api app to be get deployed by Heroku.
