Heroku (pronounced her-OH-koo) is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. Developers can focus 100% on code and never think about servers, instances, or VMs again. Heroku lets you run any application from simple to complex, from Ruby, Java, Node.JS, Python or Clojure.
Heroku takes full responsibility for your app's health, keeping it up and running through thick and thin, while you manage and command your app with a full set of control surface APIs.
Tens of thousands of developers have deployed hundreds of thousands of apps to Heroku already.

CocoaHeads Partners
CocoaHeads, NSCoderNight and other groups are playing a huge role in bringing CocoaConf to the Columbus area. Several of our speakers are group organizers and almost all of them are active participants. If you haven't been to a CocoaHeads meeting or NSCoder Night, find the group near you and get involved. There is much we can learn from each other and many good times to be had.
Check out our partner groups below. You can also find other active groups at the CocoaHeads website or meetup.com. If all else fails, Google is your friend. :-)
