I've successfully deployed node app to heroku but have never tried with a webpack based app there before. However pulled up this which may help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36223070/how-to-deploy-node-that-uses-webpack-to-heroku

Thank you! I had to delete node_modules, ran npm install --quiet --production, reinstalled webpack without the -dev flag.. it is now working.. The postinstall script made heroku build fail.
