How do I deploy my Django app on Heroku?

To deploy your Django app on Heroku, you'll need to follow several steps including setting up your Heroku account, installing the Heroku CLI, and preparing your Django app for deployment.

What are the specific steps I need to take?

First, create a Heroku account and install the Heroku CLI. Then, in your Django project, create a requirements.txt file and a Procfile. After that, initialize a Git repository, commit your changes, and push to Heroku.

Your Procfile should include a line like web: gunicorn myproject.wsgi --log-file -, replacing myproject with the name of your Django project.

Do I need to set up a database on Heroku?

Yes, you can use Heroku Postgres. You can add it to your app via the Heroku dashboard or CLI, and then configure your Django settings to connect to it.
