Heroku for Devs

The easiest way to deploy. Master Heroku Dynos, Pipelines, and Add-ons to ship apps instantly using Git.

Heroku revolutionized deployment with 'git push heroku main'. This course teaches you to leverage that simplicity for production apps. You will learn the Dyno model, configure Procfiles, and manage environment variables. We cover attaching Add-ons like Postgres and Redis with zero configuration, setting up CI/CD pipelines for staging/production parity, and monitoring logs. Perfect for startups and developers who want to focus on code, not servers.
