Deploy your Supabase app to Heroku
Step-by-step deployment help for Supabase apps on Heroku. We fix Supabase-specific deployment issues, configure Heroku, and get your app live. From $19.
Supabase issues we fix before deploying
Common Supabase problems that affect Heroku deployments.
Missing Row-Level Security policies
Tables without RLS policies are accessible to anyone with the anon key. This is the #1 security issue in Lovable and Supabase-based apps.
Overly permissive RLS policies
RLS policies that use 'true' as the condition, effectively making the table public while giving a false sense of security.
Service role key in client code
The service_role key (which bypasses RLS) exposed in frontend code, giving attackers full database access.
Missing database indexes
Queries slow down as data grows because commonly queried columns lack indexes.
Heroku deployment issues we check for
Common Heroku problems that break Supabase 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 Supabase app to Heroku?
We handle Supabase deployments to Heroku end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Supabase project, then we configure Heroku, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Supabase issues affect Heroku deployments?
Supabase projects commonly have missing row-level security policies and overly permissive rls policies. 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 Supabase project to Heroku?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Supabase applications to Heroku. We audit your codebase for Supabase-specific issues, configure Heroku correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Supabase deployment to Heroku cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Heroku deployment blockers in your Supabase project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
