USER STORY: Deploy to Heroku

[Harmonica-Men]

As a software developer, I want to deploy our application to Heroku, so that it is accessible to users and can be tested in a live environment.

---

Acceptance Criteria:

1. Heroku Account Setup:

   • A Heroku account is created if one does not already exist.
   • The Heroku CLI is installed and configured on the development machine.

2. Application Configuration:

   • The application is configured to use environment variables for sensitive data.
   • The Procfile is created to define the process types.

3. Database Configuration:

   • The application is configured to use Heroku's database service (e.g., PostgreSQL).
   • Database migrations are run on Heroku to set up the schema.

4. Deployment:

   • The application is deployed to Heroku using Git.
   • The deployment is verified to ensure the application is running correctly.

5. Environment Variables:

   • Necessary environment variables are set in the Heroku dashboard.
   • Environment variables are documented for future reference.

6. Monitoring and Logging:

   • Heroku's monitoring and logging tools are set up to track application performance and errors.
   • Alerts are configured for critical issues.

7. Documentation:

   • Deployment steps are documented in the project's README.md or a separate deployment guide.
   • The documentation is reviewed and approved by the team.
