Raúl Barroso

So, what’s Heroku?● It's a platform that makes deployments easy.

Traditionally this was hard.

● Heroku lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.

● And much more.

Developer productivity

● Why require 3 steps when 1 will do?

● Why require any action at all when zero steps will do?
