Ecommerce API - Deploy to Heroku

Setup Instruction

The structure of the whole Django project is built for you. Run the following commands in order to have your local environment up and running.

$ mkvirtualenv -p $(which python3) ecommerce
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

You can now run the development server and point the browser to the correct URL:

$ make runserver

Description

The goal of this practice is to perform a deploy of the Ecommerce API project that we've been working on, into a production environment.

For this task you'll need to use the service Heroku, in a similar way that we did during the class.

Your tasks

Your tasks will be basically focused on following the steps that the instructor showed you during the class.

This would include installing the Heroku CLI, creating the Procfile and runtime.txt files, configuring some settings and env variables, pushing the project to heroku remote repository, etc.

This is a link to a LIVE version of the Ecommerce API, up and running in Heroku:
