Heroku is a cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) that runs on containers (PaaS). Heroku is a platform that allows developers to deploy, manage, and scale modern apps. Our platform is elegant, versatile, and easy to use, making it the quickest way for developers to bring their apps to market.
Heroku is completely operated, allowing developers to concentrate on their core product rather than worrying about servers, hardware, or infrastructure. The Heroku experience includes resources, software, workflows, and multilingual support, all of which are geared toward improving developer productivity.

When it comes to deploying an application, there are typically two options: a virtual private server (VPS) or a platform as a service (PaaS) (platform as a service). This article will teach you how to use a PaaS like Heroku to deploy an application to output.
Many developers are looking for a free cloud web hosting service that will allow them to run their apps, blogs, or bots without having to worry about managing servers. Others are intrigued by the platform-as-a-service model but are hesitant to invest. Here`s a rundown of the Heroku platform`s and ecosystem`s free cloud services for developers.
Heroku`s free cloud services start with apps, which can be deployed to dynos, the Heroku platform`s lightweight Linux containers. When you sign up for Heroku, you`ll be given a pool of free dyno hours to use for your apps right away. Your app uses dyno hours as it runs. Your app will avoid consuming dyno hours when it idles (automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity) or when you scale it down. You can deploy your free app as many times as you need (we encourage continuous deployment), and your app will be live and publicly available as long as you have dyno hours.
Make the most of your free platform services.
Verify your Heroku account with a credit card to get 1000 free dyno hours; unverified accounts get 550 free hours. Unless you want to use a paid service, you will not be charged. Account registration comes with a slew of other perks, including the ability to run more than five free applications and free custom domain names.
Make use of web tools that are friendly to developers.
You have access to the same free platform resources and open-source components if you use free or paid services, which will make your life a lot easier.
