Topic: Heroku

After attending a talk at the GitHub Universe 2016 about Hubot, I felt the need to write a little Go library to speed up my process of creating bots for Slack. With hanu you can get started with the buzzword ChatOps in seconds. The final bot will be running on Heroku using a worker dyno, but of course this works fine on your local machine as well.

It only takes a couple of minutes to deploy a go application to a free Heroku dyno, use a custom domain name and enable free SSL using CloudFlare. If you still have some seconds left - and you will - it’s dead simple to add Prometheus metrics as well.
