Build apps, not infrastructure

While most of us love building apps in JavaScript, we'd also love it if people used them, and if we're lucky, *lots* of people. Problem is, then we really need to care about about how our app runs and scales, and it's best to think about that before that moment of fame arrives.

I'll show a few tools and services that can help you manage your infrastructure, and the pros/cons of different approaches, so spend more time building your apps, and less dealing with keeping your app running.

Some of the tools/platforms I'll be discussing are [Heroku](http://heroku.com), [AWS](http://aws.amazon.com/), [Digital Ocean](https://www.digitalocean.com), [Ansible](http://www.ansible.com), and a new tool I'm building, [Riker](https://github.com/jschementi/riker).
