• Normal Deployment (For Beginners)
  • Local Development and Production Deployment with Heroku CLI
  • Branching, CI/CD with GitHub Actions and GitHub Heroku Integration
  • Branching and CI/CD with GitHub Actions
• Containerisation with Docker
  • Docker Compose in Development and Production Deployment

Normal Deployment

🚀 Local Development and Production Deployment with Heroku CLI

If you are following this project from a long time, then you know that by default we were having this template in the project.

• Mostly used by beginners
• for development we have the script yarn run dev:mern to develop and run the whole MERN stack application locally
• for testing we support script yarn run test to test the MERN stack application
• for deployment we have ProcFile that will be used for deployment in production with the help of Heroku CLI
• Doesn't support automation as you have to deploy with Heroku CLI every time
• Used mostly when we only have master/main branch
• You can use this approach with branching as well
• Example: React-Todo-App

🚀 Branching, CI/CD with GitHub Actions and GitHub Heroku Integration

• Mostly used by beginners/Intermediate devs
• Use master/main branch as a production
• Use dev as development branch where you will merge all the feature branches
• for development we have the script yarn run dev:mern to develop and run the whole MERN stack application locally
• for testing we support script yarn run test to test the MERN stack application
• Supports GitHub Actions Workflow for CI
• For Heroku Integration you have to give access to the GitHub repository from Heroku
• for deployment we have Heroku Integration with GitHub using ProcFile for automated deployment
• Example: Free-Algorithms-Books-website

🚀 Branching and CI/CD with GitHub Actions

• Mostly used by Intermediate/Advanced devs
• Use master/main branch as a production
• Use dev as development branch where you will merge all the feature branches
• for development we have the script yarn run dev:mern to develop and run the whole MERN stack application locally
• for testing we support script yarn run test to test the MERN stack application
• for deployment we have Github Actions workflow using ProcFile for automated deployment
• Supports GitHub Actions Workflow for CI/CD using akhileshns/heroku-deploy workflow
• Example: HacktoberFest21

Containerisation with Docker

🚀 Docker Compose in Development and Production Deployment

Use of heroku.yml
