Discovery - determine deployment platform and budget for project

[kfrz]

Background

We need to determine what our budget and deployment platform will be for this tool.

Heroku is a potential platform that could suit our needs (also includes built-in CI). 1x dyno at $25/mo would be sufficient, as this platform will only be used by Oddballers, and thus will have a limited volume of traffic/resource usage.

The focus should be on simplicity and cost-effectiveness. We don't want to wrestle with too much manual configuration or maintenance if we can avoid it.

Definition of Done

• Budgetary concerns are addressed and codified
• Deployment platform is decided upon

+1 for heroku

We have a docker container registry set up that we were using for the EFIN challenge back in the day, if we dockerize this app and can just deploy on that it keeps everything under one bill. Easier from an admin side.

Most of Oddballs IT infrastructure is all on AWS too this keeps us consolidated and consistent

Why AWS:

• We currently have a docker registry and historically have been able to deploy to the cloud
• We won't have to have another billing account/approval
• Fun for DevOps!

@camerontesterman hoping to just modify some of the tf stuff you did back in march for the efin challenge
