Rohit Bhardwaj

DIRECTOR, AI & DATA ARCHITECTURE AT SALESFORCE | AUTHOR | ENTERPRISE AI

01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

Ever thought that you write code and promote, the application runs and automatically deploys?
Do you want to deploy free hosting to your apps?
Heroku lets you deploy, run, and manage applications written in open languages and frameworks such as Ruby, Node.js, Java, Python, Clojure, Scala, Go, and PHP. You can quickly deploy your code with a single command using developer tools like git, GitHub, and Docker. We'll build and run your application with our container-based platform, handling compilation, dependencies, assets, and executables so you can focus on creating engaging experiences for your users.

In this talk, we will explore various features of the Heroku Platform, which is a service-based container that manages all the applications.
