Built with Pieces? Deploy it to Heroku.
Step-by-step deployment help for Pieces-built apps on Heroku. We fix deployment issues, configure Heroku correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Pieces issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Pieces's code generation that affect Heroku deployments.
Saved snippets used out of original context introduce bugs when reused
Code snippets saved from one project often have implicit dependencies — specific utility functions, environment variables, or framework versions — that are not present in the project where the snippet is reused, causing silent failures or runtime errors.
Security-sensitive snippets like auth helpers reused across projects with different requirements
Authentication, token validation, and cryptography snippets saved from one project may use algorithms or key lengths appropriate for that context but inadequate for a different security model, spreading security assumptions that do not apply.
Version drift as saved snippets fall behind updated library APIs
Snippets saved against older versions of React, Dart, or TypeScript accumulate as libraries update, resulting in a snippet library that increasingly uses deprecated APIs or patterns that generate deprecation warnings or compilation errors in new projects.
Mixed coding patterns from different projects used inconsistently in the same codebase
When developers pull snippets from different projects saved in Pieces, each snippet may follow a different style — one uses async/await, another uses callbacks; one uses Tailwind, another uses CSS modules — creating inconsistency within the target project.
Heroku deployment issues we check for
Common Heroku problems that break AI-generated 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
Can you deploy a Pieces-built app to Heroku?
Yes. We regularly deploy Pieces-generated projects to Heroku. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on Heroku.
What Heroku issues do Pieces projects typically have?
Pieces projects commonly have saved snippets used out of original context introduce bugs when reused and security-sensitive snippets like auth helpers reused across projects with different requirements. When deploying to Heroku, these combine with platform-specific issues like free dyno sleeping causes cold starts and ephemeral filesystem loses uploaded files.
How do I get my Pieces project live on Heroku?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Pieces-built projects targeting Heroku, the typical path is: fix Pieces-specific code issues, configure Heroku settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Pieces app to Heroku?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Pieces codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Heroku correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
