Thanks for the great article, it’s still relevant today. A few updates for people still searching for how to host Meteor on Heroku:

  1. It works for Meteor 1.5
  2. Horse buildpack has removed the call for the mlab extension so there’s no need to go through the step creating the variation
  3. If you have trouble accessing the server files, just move them to import’s server folder and that works great. (I did this for my slingshot files)
  4. `heroku config:add METEOR_SETTINGS=”$(cat settings.json)”` helps upload your settings file for use in the heroku app. Just make sure your take the necessary precautions with git ignoring your settings.json if you use a public repo.
