Learning Meteor.js [Part 7]: What does a meteor deploy looks like in Heroku?

One last thing before moving on. In case you are interested below is the log of Heroku that shows what happens when the app is deployed. Things to note:

• It always fetches the latest version of the buildpack.
• It takes care of installing node.js.
• It downloads and installs meteor.
• Downloads all the app's dependencies and builds it.

-----> Fetching set buildpack https://github.com/jordansissel/heroku-buildpack-meteor.git... done
-----> meteor app detected
-----> Moving app source into a subdirectory
       Node engine:         0.10.40
       Npm engine:          unspecified
       Start mechanism:     none
       node_modules source: none
       node_modules cached: false
       NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=true
       NODE_MODULES_CACHE=true
       PRO TIP: Use 'npm init' and 'npm install --save' to define dependencies
       See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs-support
       PRO TIP: Include a Procfile, package.json start script, or server.js file to start your app
