Built with Sweep AI? Deploy it to Heroku.
Step-by-step deployment help for Sweep AI-built apps on Heroku. We fix deployment issues, configure Heroku correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Sweep AI issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Sweep AI's code generation that affect Heroku deployments.
PRs may be too narrow, missing related bug sources
Sweep fixes the specific symptom described in the GitHub issue but often misses related root causes in adjacent code. The bug reappears from a different trigger after the narrow fix.
Security changes in PRs not reviewed for regression
When a GitHub issue involves auth or permissions, Sweep's generated PR modifies security-sensitive code. These changes require careful human review that automated PR creation workflows can bypass.
Generated tests verify implementation, not behavior
Sweep writes tests alongside its code changes, but the tests assert that the specific implementation works rather than that the feature behaves correctly across realistic input scenarios.
Edge cases not covered when issue description is vague
Sweep implements what the issue says literally. Vague issue descriptions lead to implementations that miss important edge cases — null inputs, concurrent requests, or invalid data.
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 Sweep AI-built app to Heroku?
Yes. We regularly deploy Sweep AI-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 Sweep AI projects typically have?
Sweep AI projects commonly have prs may be too narrow, missing related bug sources and security changes in prs not reviewed for regression. 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 Sweep AI project live on Heroku?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Sweep AI-built projects targeting Heroku, the typical path is: fix Sweep AI-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 Sweep AI app to Heroku?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Sweep AI codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Heroku correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
