Simplify app deployment with Heroku Buttons
Heroku Buttons provide an easy way to get an app up and running quickly on the Heroku platform. Heroku Buttons are pointers to source code repositories that have been extended with a tiny file that determines how the code should be deployed and configured. Clicking a Heroku Button will initiate deployment of the app, provide an option to configure the app, and deliver the running app on the web.
With over 7,200 Heroku Buttons available in the Elements Marketplace, you can explore other projects and services or find shortcuts that accelerate your workflow. It’s also easy to make your own Heroku Button.
How Heroku Buttons work
A Heroku Button is simply a link to a particular Heroku deploy location. Within its URL, the Heroku Button also carries a link to the respective source code repository. When you click on a Heroku Button, the Heroku platform understands your intent to deploy code and the location of that code, and it then fires off a deployment. Each code repo contains additional information for Heroku, such as whether Heroku Add-ons should be deployed as part of the application, whether configuration metadata needs to be set, and so on.
