Definition: The term "Heroku" comes from the word "heroku," which itself comes from the name "Heru," a Greek word meaning "tower" or "mighty." It's a cloud-based platform that allows for flexible deployment, scalability and cost optimization. In the Bible, it appears in Genesis 2:16-17 where Abraham is told to take 30 Shekels of gold as an offering to God. This was the first money he had ever earned and was a significant sum. According to scripture, when Abraham brought this amount, it would be "a token of his wealth." He then said: > Then she began to speak with a voice of her heart. And she took 30 Shekels, and laid them on the altar. She made an offering in that place for the Lord God. The words "the first money" here mean "money" (as in the Torah). The verse then translates into: > And he said, "Let it be a token of his wealth; make an offering in that place, to the Lord God." So Heroku is a cloud-based platform that allows for flexible deployment and scalable cost optimization. This means that it's designed to handle large numbers of users with minimal infrastructure setup and maintenance costs. This concept is closely related to Kubernetes, which is another popular cloud-native platform used for managing and deploying software applications.
