This is meant to be a quickstart/inspirational boiler plate to get your client application and server application hosted on S3 and Heroku.

With a few tweaks this starting point can be enhanced to accommodate:

0. Multiple Single Page Application entry points
1. Bootstrap or other client side vendor libraries
2. Koa instead of Express 4.0
3. PostgreSQL instead of Mongo
4. Multiple environments

Not every solution requires this much

What this solution is good for:

• A single Git repo
• Full stack development
• JavaScript on the Frontend and Backend
• Rapid local development environment
• A project with little to no dedicated DevOps personnel
• A set of defined/expected environments (example: dev, uat, demo, prod)

What this solution is not good for:

• No API or Server side code necessary
  • Just have a client app? Use API Gateway
• Massive and Complex environment architectures
