Add deployment documentation, ensure smooth deploy behavior

[adampash]

Considering that lux is sort of a batteries-included api solution, it’s a safe bet that a lot of ppl would be using it alongside a PaaS like Heroku. I think it would be worthwhile, before release, to ensure that lux plays nicely with Heroku, and also document deployment to Heroku.

I know the goal isn’t specifically to make lux a Heroku solution, but 1) I think there’s a lot of overlap between the person who would be attracted to lux and the person who’s attracted to Heroku, and 2) something like Heroku is a perfect place to try out/play with this sort of solution.

I tried deploying something to Heroku last week and it wasn’t a “batteries-included” type experience (e.g., not as seamless as deploying a Rails app, for example), so it may require some minor tweaks to lux.

Heroku deployment is luckily pretty easy right now (not sure how it was back in August). I could write something when the docs come online.

That would be great. I'm having some issues right now deploying to elastic beanstalk

@seawatts I thought you were able to deploy to eb successfully? What issue(s) are you having?
