About the Author

Mike Coutermarsh has been building and deploying web applications for over 10 years. Originally from New Hampshire, he now works and lives in Boston, MA. As an early adopter of Heroku, he's been working with and writing about the technology for over 5 years. He works as a software engineer for Product Hunt (http://www.producthunt.com). Previously, he's built and scaled web applications at Gazelle (https://www.gazelle.com/) and was a cofounder of Taskk. When Mike isn't coding or writing, you will usually find him making the perfect cup of coffee, watching hockey, or at the gym.

This book would not exist if it were not for the incredible support of my family, friends, and coworkers. I would like to thank my family, mom, dad, Ben, Kayleigh, and Tucker, who were always so encouraging and supportive. To my friends who were always so understanding when I "had to write", thank you. Thank you Greg and Arvind at Packt Publishing for being so helpful and patient; I've grown so much as a writer because of your guidance. To my technical reviewers, you are the best; thank you for your many hours of reviewing the drafts and invaluable feedback. Finally, I would like to thank the reader for joining me; I hope you learn to love deploying code as much as I do.
