USER STORY: DEPLOYMENT

[TulaUnogi]

As a Developer I can deploy the website early, so I can avoid additional stress and technical issues in the moment of the project submission

Acceptance criteria:

The project must be deployed to Heroku

• The project must be connected to the 3rd party database like ElephantSQL
• The code must be stored on GitHub to be evaluated by the assessor
• The project must be displayed through GitHub app

Tasks:

• [x] Creating workspace with Gitpod
• [x] Connecting Github to Heroku
• [x] Installing dependencies
• [x] Setting up the enviroment variables
• [x] Connecting ElephantSQL
• [x] Ensuring that app is displaying properly on Heroku
• [x] Connect to Cloudinary to Django and Heroku

When trying to deploy to Heroku for the first time I got a collectstatic error which resulted in the failure of a deployment. After realising that I forgot to set up the static files and fixing that mistake I managed to deploy the app successfully.

(From 'finished' back to 'in progress') As advised by my mentor Narender I should connect Cloudinary for hosting static files

After connecting to Cloudinary Heroku build failed, disabled collectstatic temporarily and build was successful
