Heroku build pack or Docker file? #2

Open nelsonic opened 7 years ago

What is an Heroku Build pack and how can I use it to deploy my app?

gabrielperales commented 7 years ago

why use a build pack if you can use docker containers on heroku?

nelsonic commented 7 years ago

@gabrielperales a Docker container is good idea for heroku. right now I'm trying to keep this tutorial as beginner-friendly as possible but in the "advanced" section we can definitely cover Docker! 👍

Looking into this now. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#

started looking into it ... think its a good idea but not "MVP" so just going to deploy manually for now. see: https://github.com/nelsonic/time-mvp/issues/3#issuecomment-298219528
