Unlike Storyboards, the effort you put into writing against a REST API isn't wasted if you decide to roll a new, more complex REST API (which Heroku is fantastic for).
The whole point is to get the developer up-and-running as quickly as possible. Code for the API you'll eventually have, but get by with a rough scaffolding so you can experiment and iterate rapidly.
