Editor's Notes
- Heroku is an elastic multi-language, multi-framework Platform as a Service (Paas) designed for developers to deploy their applications without having to also become an operations expert. This definition of Heroku will be explained in more detail through the course of this presentation.
- Create a new app via the website or the command line. Show just how easy it is to get a live application going in a few seconds. If possible, use an application that the audience can interactive with to demonstrate that it really is a live application. Options: java.heroku.com A meteor.com JavaScript app – requires use of a custom build pack
- A very brief history of Heroku to show that it is a part of the Salesforce family and to comment on how innovation Heroku first started to support in “start up” companies is now being realised in enterprises.

- Cover the main ways that Heroku is used with the force.com platform Chatter – more than an iFrame, you can embed a website within your force.com application and interact with it as if it were just one application. This is a great way of complementing the functionality of your force.com application. REST API allows your custom application to work with data already in your organisation as well as bring in data from any custom application deployed on Heroku. This allows your force.com application to become a single authoritive view of your company. Run applications on Heroku to manage the scaling of your application in more detail without a heavy operations overhead. Custom applications are a good way to implement functionality that does not make sense to create in a force.com application or is prohibitively expensive (in terms of licensing or API calls) for that platform.
- The 4 supported languages on Heroku. If you create applications in these languages using the common build tools then they will just deploy. As a developer you don’t need to write deployment scripts or other time consuming deployment work. These languages just work.
- Heroku is a multi-language PaaS designed for developers. By abstracting away the infrastructure, Heroku lets developers focus on their application and not on servers. Using known tools like Git and the command line, developers can instantly and continuously deploy their application to the cloud. By leveraging a broad catalog of add-ons, developers can accelerate their development and quickly add features to their applications.

- When you create a new application on Heroku it starts off in the Dev plan. Here you get one dyno that is free to use as you get 750 hours per month for. In this Dev plan, a dyno will go to sleep (idle) after an hour of no web requests. Once the Dyno is sleeping, the next request will take a little longer whist the Dyno wakes up (should be a matter of a few seconds, or less). Should you wish to scale your application vertically, you can change over to the basic or production plans and run more dynos with identical copies of your application.

- Rollbacks are a very fast way to return to a know application state. Rather that push a code fix, it is often more prudent to roll back and give the development team more time to understand the root cause of the problem. In the screenshot, a new version of the code was pushed to Heroku by Andy, creating version 21. Unfortunatley this push caused and error and a decision to rollback to the previous version, v20, was taken. This rollback actually creates a new version, v22, based on version 20. Once the root cause of the bug in version 21 was found and the application re-tested, a final code push to Heroku was done. This final push to fix the code is important as if any other actions occur that trigger a new deploy (eg. An environment variable change) then the buggy code from version 21 would be re-introduced.

- Understanding the performance of your app is challenging. Monitoring the performance and analysing the results against usage patterns for your app is vital to scaling your application efficiently.

- In this demo a new application is created using a Yeoman and the AngularJS template. Grunt manages all the dependencies and builds the AngularJS stie. NodeJS is added to the project to run the AngularJS project as a customer facing website (first on the laptop, then properly on Heroku).
