Deployment Checklist

This is the deployment checklist for deploying on Heroku (we will use this as our testing environment)

Dynamic Port Binding

Heroku will tell us which port our app will use, so we need to ensure we listen to the port we're told

Specify Node Environment

Want to use a specific version of node, therefore we must tell Heroku that

Specify start script

Instruct heroku what command to run to start our server running

Create .gitignore file

We don't want to include dependencies, Heroku does that for us
