A simple Heroku app template for deploying Dat
Data will get stored permanently and be available to clone as long as the app remains active.
Heroku Postgres 10,000 rows free.
Heroku Ephemeral Filesystem. Data will be temporary. This is the best option for testing and playing around with dat, but not for stable use.
Only tabular data is stored in postgres/redis. Blobs will still be stored on the ephemeral filesystem (unless you fork this and put in your own blob backend)
After hitting one of the purple buttons, and logging into herkou, you'll see this screen:
You should enter a unique, memorable name for your dat. It will be available at name.herokuapp.com.

Once you enter in your desired options, hit the "Deploy" button.
You might need to wait a couple of minutes while heroku starts.
You can then click "view" and your dat will be available at name.herokuapp.com.
Dat is still in beta. If you have any trouble, it's probably because we did something wrong! Please tell us by opening an issue here or going to #dat on IRC in freenode.
