Heroku is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) product based on AWS, and is vastly different from Elastic Compute Cloud. Itâs very important to differentiate âInfrastructure as a Serviceâ and âPlatform as a Serviceâ solutions as we consider deploying and supporting our application using these two solutions.
A path, the general form of the name of a file or directory, specifies a unique location in a file system. A path points to a file system location by following the directory tree hierarchy expressed in a string of characters in which path components, separated by a delimiting character, represent each directory.
For example, the location of a user's documents folder in the file system is typically something like C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents. There is no need for users to know anything about the physical location of their file system folders. They simply access their files through the My Documents icon.
