ah cool, missed this 😎 looks like a lot has changed since I deployed prod into heroku. Is there no dependency on Cloudinary or Fastly now when you deploy?

If you don't want Image Caching and Image Resizing(Which are very essential for a production app), you can stop using Cloudinary and Fastly; but you should use s3 bucket to store your images.

This way, you will not face any issues with images. Also, rather than creating a bucket in your preferred region use the region of Heroku.

Gotcha, I actually run a prod instance on Heroku already that mirrors Dev. I am just interested in what’s changed since then how much more streamlined it is on Heroku, it was pretty difficult 2 years ago!

Recently, I cleaned my Heroku account by removing few un-used demo projects. So you might not be able to view the demo link mentioned in the tutorial.

If you are facing errors during the installation process or want to have a deeper understanding of how things work over Heroku => you can ping me!
