Heroku Deployment

The video tutorial guides viewers through deploying a task manager app to production using Heroku and GitHub. It begins with setting up a clean workspace and initializing a Git repository. The instructor then demonstrates creating a GitHub repository and pushing the code. The tutorial continues with deploying the app to Heroku, setting necessary environment variables, and testing the deployment using Postman and MongoDB Compass. The video concludes with a brief introduction to the next section on automated testing.

What is the first step in preparing the task manager app for deployment?

• Creating a new Heroku application

• Cleaning up the workspace and initializing a Git repository

• Pushing code to GitHub

• Setting up environment variables

Why is it important to ignore the 'node_modules' and 'config' directories in the Git repository?

• To make the repository public

• To prevent sensitive information from being exposed

• To reduce the size of the repository

• To ensure faster deployment

What is a new feature of GitHub's free plan mentioned in the video?

• Unlimited collaborators

• Priority support

• Private repositories

• Increased storage space

What command is used to create a new Heroku application?

• heroku new

• heroku start

• heroku create

• heroku init

Which environment variable is NOT set manually for the Heroku app?

• MONGODB_URL

• SENDGRID_API_KEY

• JWT_SECRET

• PORT

What tool is used to verify the deployment of the task manager API?

• MongoDB Compass

• GitHub

• Postman

• Visual Studio Code

What response indicates that the task manager API is running correctly in production?

• Error 404

• Server not found

• Connection refused

• Please authenticate

Which tool is used to view the data in the production database?

• Heroku Dashboard

• MongoDB Compass

• GitHub

• Postman

What is the purpose of using MongoDB Compass in the deployment process?

• To push code to GitHub

• To edit the source code

• To manage Heroku configurations

• To verify data in the production database

What is the final step in verifying the task manager app's deployment?

• Pushing code to GitHub

• Creating a new Heroku application

• Checking the production database with MongoDB Compass

• Running tests in Visual Studio Code
