Update the Dockerfile. This file would be used in building the app on Heroku (if at all we're opting for Heroku) and running it instead of the too common Procfile. The perk of using a Dockerfile is that we get to have control over build steps instead of relying on Heroku's. The latter build step results in the pruning of devDependencies and we might not want that for certain scenarios.
If at all we're opting for Kintohub, we would have no need for a heroku.yml file but would need the Dockerfile as Kintohub provides the option to provision a build from a custom Dockerfile.
