Migrate Database to Heroku Postgres #3

Closed samithShetty closed 2 years ago

samithShetty commented 2 years ago

Code for storage/retrieval of announcement and reminder subscription data is to be migrated to support Heroku Postgres databases

The current lightweight local "database" using pandas and csv files does not play well with Heroku and often breaks things. While there are many free database options, given that Heroku is already the recommended hosting option, using Heroku's free database plan provides the easiest setup, particularly for non-technical users.

Heroku shutting down free tier, will no longer be the recommended option for Canvas Bot. See #8 for more info
