Heroku Masterclass-How to Deploy your Node JS App on Heroku?

Create a Heroku account and install the Heroku installer for your Mac or Windows system, then set up your username and password to prepare for deploying a local app.

Create and initialize a local git repository for your node app, manage files with staging and commits, and configure an npm start script in package.json to run the project.

Publish your Node.js app to Heroku by creating a new application with a unique name, pushing local changes to a remote repository, and deploying with dependencies installed.

Learn to check Heroku logs to trace errors, using local and live server views, and access app logs from the dashboard (app name / logs) to diagnose database connections.

Set up a cloud mongodb database with mlab, choose a sandbox free plan, create users, obtain the connection string, and configure environment variables for a node.js app on heroku.

Learn to view your Heroku app’s remote file system and source code by opening the app in your browser, then launching a bash session to list files and folders.

Update your hosted Node.js app on Heroku by implementing a new delete feature, testing locally, and pushing changes to the server while validating requests and database updates.
