Now for the final installment of our series of labs on open source tooling!

This time, we learned how to set up a Node.js server and getting it deployed to Heroku.

So Heroku is one of those aforementioned “Cloud” services that Silicon Valley keeps talking about.

I’ve never worked with that kind of infrastructure before, but now I can see beyond the “buzzwordiness” of it with the practical use of it. Rather than setting up a computer to act like a server, you can just deploy your server on Heroku easily and have it run anything you want it to.

I found it really interesting and useful to use. Now that I know all of these tools that seem to be every on Github, I feel like I’m definitely ready to deploy my own projects for fun.
