Code Collaboratively

•  Lightning apps are meant to be chunked into components.

•  This offers code reusability/portability and divides up the workload.

•  Pair programming can be an effective technique for inexperienced teams.

 1. We have been given a tight deadline.

 2. Our team has limited experience.

 3. We deal with disconnected development silos.

Code Playgrounds

•  Code playgrounds allow you to share and execute snippets of code.

•  They are commonly used by web developers during development roadblocks.

•  Salesforce developers need a code playground for debugging Lightning apps.

Salesforce Lightning Components

•  Lightning components stem from the open source Aura UI framework.

•  Lightning components run on Apex, but Aura components run on Java.

•  Aura apps can be compiled and run outside of Salesforce.

DigitalOcean

•  Docker packages apps into standardized containers.

•  Dokku allows you to create a private, mini-Heroku through Docker.

MEAN.JS Docker Dokku

•  DigitalOcean offers simple, inexpensive cloud hosting.

Spark

•  MEAN.JS is a full-stack JavaScript solution for building web apps that use MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js.
