Deploy your Drizzle app to Heroku
Step-by-step deployment help for Drizzle apps on Heroku. We fix Drizzle-specific deployment issues, configure Heroku, and get your app live. From $19.
Drizzle issues we fix before deploying
Common Drizzle problems that affect Heroku deployments.
Missing relation definitions
Tables defined without Drizzle relations, forcing manual joins and losing type-safe relation queries.
Unsafe raw SQL usage
Using sql`` tagged templates with unsanitized user input, or falling back to raw SQL strings that bypass Drizzle's query builder.
No migration workflow
Schema changes pushed to production without generating or applying Drizzle Kit migrations, causing schema drift between environments.
Incorrect schema types
Using wrong column types (e.g., text instead of varchar with length, integer instead of bigint for IDs) causing data truncation or overflow.
Heroku deployment issues we check for
Common Heroku problems that break Drizzle apps in production.
Free dyno sleeping causes cold starts
Eco and Basic dynos sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. AI-generated apps with webhook receivers or background jobs break when the dyno is asleep.
Ephemeral filesystem loses uploaded files
AI tools save user uploads and generated files to the local filesystem, but Heroku's ephemeral FS wipes all changes on every dyno restart or deploy.
Database connection pool exhaustion
Heroku Postgres plans have strict connection limits (20 on Hobby). AI-generated apps open a new connection per request, exhausting the pool under moderate traffic.
Procfile missing or incorrect
AI-generated projects lack a Procfile, causing Heroku to guess the start command. For non-standard setups, this guess is often wrong.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a Drizzle app to Heroku?
We handle Drizzle deployments to Heroku end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Drizzle project, then we configure Heroku, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Drizzle issues affect Heroku deployments?
Drizzle projects commonly have missing relation definitions and unsafe raw sql usage. On Heroku, these combine with free dyno sleeping causes cold starts and ephemeral filesystem loses uploaded files to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my Drizzle project to Heroku?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Drizzle applications to Heroku. We audit your codebase for Drizzle-specific issues, configure Heroku correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Drizzle deployment to Heroku cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Heroku deployment blockers in your Drizzle project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
