Quick Tips for a Better Hackathon w. Heroku

1. Invest every second in your app,. avoid rabbit holes

  • Heroku makes building and deploying basically every modern language as simple as git push heroku master. Visit heroku.com/{ruby, php, node, etc.} to watch a ~60 second 'Hello World' on Heroku video.
  • You can have everyone up and running with Mongo, Postgres or any of over 150 Heroku Add-ons in moments - check-out our new Heroku Elements page for inspiration.
  • Heroku has three interfaces, the Heroku Dashboard, the Heroku Toolbelt, and of course the API. So you can opt for the interface that you feel most comfortable with.
