Introducing Heroku Button
When you see a Heroku Button in a README, in documentation or in a blog post, then this is a piece of code that’s ready to deploy and run on Heroku.
When you click a Heroku Button, you access a setup flow in Dashboard. If you’re not logged in or don’t have an account, you’ll go through the login flow first. Heroku then determines what code you’re trying to deploy (using either the
refererheader or a parameter in the button URL). Heroku uses an app.json manifest in the code repo to figure out what add-ons, config and other deployment steps are required to make the code run. This is used to configure and deploy the app.
