Heroku Free Tier allows for constant running bots with $0 costs, but they sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity
The Procfile is bot so scaling for step 4 should match bot=1 otherwise heroku will build but not run the application
- create heroku account
- download heroku toolbelt and login locally
- configure python buildpack for heroku stack (via terminal or web gui)
- scale the dyno to tell remote what to run when deployed
$ heroku ps:scale bot=1 --app=<APPNAME> - deploy through heroku or push a change (setup deploy settings via web gui)
5a. if there is an issue building/deploying:
$ heroku logs --app=<APPNAME>
