Anyone have this issue?

You need to set an environment variable for your mongoDB connection string, as that was stored locally on your machine and is not in the heroku server. This can be done either in the Heroku site under the settings tab of your application, or through the CLI with a command like heroku config:set mongoURI=database_uri_here. Here is a link to a similar issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40119964/how-to-set-environment-variables-on-heroku-for-nodes-app-and-connect-to-the-post
