Abstract
Deploying web application to the internet used to be a multi-days affair, filled with 10s of disparate steps, involving multiple departments and go-no-go checkpoint. With the advent of Platform as a Service (PaaS) such as Heroku, AppHarbor, and Windows Azure, deployment now can be as simple as pushing code to a remote git repo. In the first half of this talk, Alex Hung will show the basic steps in setting up a new node.js application and deploys it to the internet using Heroku. He will demonstrate how Heroku add-ons dramatically reduce the effort to integrate new capabilities to the application. Afterward, a discussion will be held with the audience to share experience, lesson learned, etc.
