Lightning apps are meant to be chunked into components.

This offers code reusability/portability and divides up the workload.

Pair programming can be an effective technique for inexperienced teams.

1. We have been given a tight deadline.

2. Our team has limited experience.

3. We deal with disconnected development silos.

Code Playgrounds

Code playgrounds allow you to share and execute snippets of code.

They are commonly used by web developers during development roadblocks.

Salesforce developers need a code playground for debugging Lightning apps.

Salesforce Lightning Components

Lightning components stem from the open source Aura UI framework.

Lightning components run on Apex, but Aura components run on Java.

Aura apps can be compiled and run outside of Salesforce.

DigitalOcean

Docker packages apps into standardized containers.

Dokku allows you to create a private, mini-Heroku through Docker.

MEAN.JS Docker Dokku

DigitalOcean offers simple, inexpensive cloud hosting.

Spark

MEAN.JS is a full-stack JavaScript solution for building web apps that use MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js.
