Deployment Setup for a REST API Application

Introduction

Introduction Web applications, especially back-end applications, need to be deployed to be publicly accessed on the internet. To deploy a back-end application, we can use a Virtual Private Server (VPS), shared hosting, and other mechanisms. In this lesson, we deploy the REST API application with a cloud platform called Heroku.

Deployment with Heroku

In this lesson, we install the heroku-cli application in the terminal below. The application that’s deployed is an inventory application that was developed in the previous lessons. Click the “Run” button to open the terminal.

Note: Before deploying the application to Heroku, make sure to create a new Heroku account.
