How to deploy node app that uses grunt to heroku

Question

I\'m using grunt and also grunt plugins like grunt-contrib-copy, grunt-contrib-mincss (that listed as npm dependencies for my application).

This post is Rails-specific but I don't see why you couldn't use it with any back-end framework and just swap the Ruby buildpack with whatever you're using.

The solution is basically to use multi buildpacks, and have the Node/Grunt buildpack run grunt build for you right on Heroku.

Significantly, this solution does not have you check build artifacts into version control. (Yay!!!)
