How do I set up a database for my Django app on Heroku?

To set up a database for your Django app on Heroku, you can use PostgreSQL. First, add the Heroku Postgres add-on to your app.

What are the steps to add the Heroku Postgres add-on?

You can add it by running heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev in your terminal.

How do I configure my Django settings to connect to the Heroku database?

You need to update your settings.py file to use the database URL provided by Heroku. Use dj-database-url to help with this.

Can you show me an example of how to do that?

Sure! You can use the following code snippet in your settings.py:

import dj_database_url
DATABASES = {'default': dj_database_url.config()}
