Skill: heroku

What I do

I guide Heroku Platform-as-a-Service deployment for rapid prototyping and small-to-mid sized applications using managed infrastructure, add-ons, and git-based workflows.

When to use me

• Rapid prototyping and MVP development
• Small-to-mid sized web applications
• Teams preferring PaaS simplicity over infrastructure management
• Applications needing managed Postgres, Redis, or other add-ons
• Quick deployment from git repositories

Core principles

1. Follow 12-factor app methodology strictly
2. Use add-ons for databases, caching, monitoring
3. Git-based deployment with automatic builds
4. Define process types in Procfile (web, worker, scheduler)
5. Manage configuration through environment variables

Decision triggers

• Load with devops for deployment automation
• Load with configuration-management for config vars and buildpacks
• Load with release-management for Heroku pipelines and review apps
• Load with monitoring for Heroku metrics and logging
• For 12-factor principles, refer to Obsidian vault
