Heroku + Node: Cannot find module error

The problem was due to case sensitivity and file naming. Mac OS X is case insensitive (but aware) whereas Heroku is based on Linux and is case sensitive. By running heroku run bash from my terminal, I was able to see how the /models folder appeared on Heroku's file system. The solution was to rename User.js and Company.js on my local system to new temporary files, commit the changes to git, then rename back to User.js and Company.js being mindful of the capitalized first letter and then committing the changes again via git. Previously I had tried to rename the files directly from user.js to User.js and company.js to Company.js but the git commit and case-sensitive file name changes did not reflect on Heroku.

I can't see the exact fix, but you can figure it out yourself by running heroku run bash to log into a Heroku instance, then run node to enter a REPL, and try requiring the paths directly.
