Deployment methods

We can manage our application using the CLI, web console or a dedicated Maven plugin. Deploying Heroku is pretty similar to deploying the Pivotal platform, however, the methods are slightly different. The main approach assumes that you deploy the application by building it from the source code stored in your local Git repository or on GitHub. The build is executed by the Heroku platform automatically after you have pushed some changes in a branch to a repository, or on demand from the newest version of the code in the selected branch. Another interesting way to deploy an application is by pushing your Docker image to Heroku's container registry.
