About
Heroku is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, run, and scale web applications without managing underlying infrastructure.
It provides isolated containers called Dynos, which are based on 
LXC (older Cedar generation) and 
Kubernetes (new Fir generation), and managed data services including 
Postgres, Key-Value Store, and Apache Kafka.
Surge makes it easy for developers to deploy projects to a production-quality CDN through Grunt, Gulp, and Npm.
