Deploy your Astro Site to Heroku

Heroku is a platform-as-a-service for building, running, and managing modern apps in the cloud. You can deloy an Astro site to Heroku using this guide.

1. Install the Heroku CLI.

2. Create a Heroku account by signing up.

3. Run heroku login and fill in your Heroku credentials:

   $ heroku login

4. Create a file called static.json in the root of your project with the below content:

   static.json:

   {
     "root": "./dist"
   }

   This is the configuration of your site; read more at heroku-buildpack-static.

5. Set up your Heroku git remote:

   # version change
   $ git init
   $ git add .
   $ git commit -m "My site ready for deployment."
   
   # creates a new app with a specified name
   $ heroku apps:create example
   
   # set buildpack for static sites
   $ heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-static.git

6. Deploy your site:

   # publish site
   $ git push heroku master
   
   # opens a browser to view the Dashboard version of Heroku CI
   $ heroku open
