Django: Deploying an application on Heroku with sqlite3 as the database

by

As Heroku’s dynos don’t have a filesystem that persists across deploys, a file-based database like SQLite3 isn’t going to be suitable. It’s a great DB for development/quick prototypes, though.

Heroku do have a Postgres offering however that will suit – with a free tier and a basic $9/month tier that are good for hobby/small projects. The biggest benefit over SQLite is that you get backups that you wouldn’t get otherwise (plus all the other Postgres features).

There’s a guide to updating your settings.py to use Postgres here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-django#django-settings
