You can test JDK 9 in just a couple of minutes by deploying any JVM-based app to Heroku.

Many Ruby developers have turned to Node.js because it allows them to do the kind of asynchronous programming that improves throughput, latency, and resource utilization. Its inherent non-blocking IO makes asynchronous request processing natural. CRuby doesn’t have a built-in async IO solution, but JRuby does!

JHipster is a Yeoman generator used to create Spring Boot and AngularJS apps.

Java processes on Heroku run inside of a dyno, which has a few restrictions that make it difficult to attach debuggers and management consoles. But it’s not impossible.

The 12-factor app is a collection of best practices for deploying scalable, maintainable and portable applications in the cloud. It synthesizes the experiences and observations we’ve made at Heroku after hosting and supporting thousands of production Scala applications.

You only need one file with one line of text to run a Minecraft server on Heroku with my Minecraft buildpack. It solves all the problems associated with the use of TCP and Heroku’s ephemeral filesystem.

This short video (less than a minute and a half) demonstrates how to create, deploy and configure a Heroku application from Eclipse.

One of my favorite geek games is Dominion.
