Heroku Webhosting for Django - Python Django Dentist Website #12

In this video we'll push our website to Heroku for webhosting!
We need to install a few things and configure out app to work on Heroku. We'll go over all of that in this video. We'll need the heroku toolbelt so our terminal can connect to Heroku. We'll also need several modules, namely: python-decouple, dj_database_url, and django_heroku which we'll pip install and add to our app.
