Just want to make mention here that you obviously have your JWT / APP posted keys in your video, probably best to blow away the application completely for security sake. Thanks for the vid!

Great call, I planned on deleting it but completely forgot. It is now deleted.

Well i have existing a strapi project as a backend now i want to deploy strapi...so if i flow this do i need to setup again in strapi from start?

On heroku it seems every time the dyno restarts, it wipes the whole DB. Im on the paid "standard-0" plan. Whats going on??

[@afxcrush41]

what about the rotation credential Heroku does every certain time (as it's said in the description of the postgres addon)? Do we have to update it everytime?

[@eduardocgarza]

What is the purpose of the HEROKU_URL env-var??

Hi sir now this backend server will run 24x7 ? like my project will run correctly?

[@lucia7974]

Hey lovely tutorial and wonderful blogpost that I am keeping in my favourites! My question: is there another way to migrate the data to Strapi, or do we have to manually input all the data in production? Thanks!

[@conor909]

Looks like it

[@timpeters8628]

Hello, I've got the Problem that everytime the Dino restarts the Data from strapi are deleted and I've to Set Up a new Admin Account. Any Idea how to solve this ? I did everything Like in the Tutorial

[@codewithryan4646]

Hi Tim, you've definitely set NODE_ENV to production in the config vars?

[@conor909]

DId you find a solution to this?

Awkward timing for Heroku, since their free tier is going away. I just hosted something using Keystone there last week.

[@codewithryan4646]

Hi Joost, yes very awkward timing. Their paid tiers do start pretty low. I pay about $15/month for my blog hosting and Postgres database but understand if this is too much for some. I plan on making another video hosting on a platform with a free tier, possibly Render

[@saqibkhanz8417]

What if we use MySQL instead of postgresql?

[@codewithryan4646]

I don’t have experience working with MySQL and strapi, but I’m sure that’s possible if that’s the database you prefer to use

[@aitortilla5128]

The heroku postgres addon is no longer free.

how ro deploy strapi on free

[@codewithryan4646]

@@subhamswaruppradhan4953 unfortunately heroku no longer supports free plans. From what I’ve found, it’s not really possible to deploy a strapi app for free, without massive compromises

[@zaryabzubair8393]

HEroku asks for payment information even in their free plan.
