Heroku

Heroku iis one of the best-known and well-regarded PaaS (platform as a service).

Their system is setup to help you deploy all kinds of applications as easily as possible. Their system can help install your application dependencies and setup web and worker servers very quickly.

While they are sometimes seen as expensive, they do remove much of the work that usually goes into setting up environments for applications that need to scale up on a whim.

They also offer a free tier, meaning that you can launch simple applications with some restrictions for free.

Wikipedia summary

Heroku is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) supporting several programming languages that is used as a web application deployment model. Heroku, one of the first cloud platforms, has been in development since June 2007, when it supported only the Ruby programming language, but now supports Java, Node.js, Scala, Clojure, Python, PHP, and Go. For this reason, Heroku is said to be a polyglot platform as it lets the developer build, run and scale applications in a similar manner across all the languages. Heroku was acquired by Salesforce.com in 2010 for $212 million.
