Why Heroku?

Sample Procfiles:

• learn-websockets/chat-app
• video-chat-app-webrtc

Heroku provides https enabled backend server in no time which is too good for no-budget apps testing. You can create as many applications as you want with the condition that you can have only 5 apps in one account and you can create infinite heroku accounts with emailId+1@email.com hack. Yo!

You can serve a nested folder project in heroku using a custom build-pack as well. Find it working @ video-chat-app-webrtc and also @ sahilrajput03/learn-websockets

• simply use your bash function:

  heroku.setSubDirectoryBuildpack mySubdirectoryHere
  # It is an alias, find about it @ https://github.com/sahilrajput03/config/blob/main/.bash_functions#L319-L325
  

Heroku has database as a service as well. Check here.

See my command list @ Gist.
