Built with Tempo? Deploy it to Heroku.
Step-by-step deployment help for Tempo-built apps on Heroku. We fix deployment issues, configure Heroku correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Tempo issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Tempo's code generation that affect Heroku deployments.
Generated UI components have no backend wiring and display only static or hardcoded data
Tempo generates visually accurate components but all data is hardcoded or uses placeholder values. Every component needs data fetching, API integration, and state management added before it is functional in a real application.
No authentication or authorization built into generated page components
Pages and layouts generated from Figma designs do not include route protection, session checks, or role-based rendering — all authentication logic must be added separately before the pages handle real users.
Components tightly coupled to Figma design tokens that do not match your design system
Tempo generates components using Tailwind classes and CSS values extracted from Figma, which may not align with your existing design system tokens, theme configuration, or component library — requiring a normalization pass to integrate cleanly.
No state management architecture — components are purely presentational without interaction logic
Interactive UI elements (dropdowns, modals, tabs, forms) are generated with the correct visual appearance but without state management wiring, requiring developers to add useState, useReducer, or a state library to make them functional.
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 Tempo-built app to Heroku?
Yes. We regularly deploy Tempo-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 Tempo projects typically have?
Tempo projects commonly have generated ui components have no backend wiring and display only static or hardcoded data and no authentication or authorization built into generated page components. 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 Tempo project live on Heroku?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Tempo-built projects targeting Heroku, the typical path is: fix Tempo-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 Tempo app to Heroku?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Tempo codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Heroku correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
