Deployment? #13

While deploying this to Heroku is feasible for test/staging purposes, the value of tracking GitHub Trends over time is in the _Data_ and subsequent _insights_... so we need to be able to deploy this to somewhere we can store Millions of records ...

Crawlers need to be on AWS because they have no limit on inbound bandwidth (i.e. we can suck in Terabytes and only keep a few Gigs worth of the data in our Redis/ES cluster. see: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-lowers-its-pricing-again-free-inbound-data-transfer-and-lower-outbound-data-transfer-for-all-ser/

Digital Ocean has bandwidth caps (which we will reach rather quickly!)
