The free tier of Heroku sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivity. Use Kaffiene (http://kaffeine.herokuapp.com/) to keep it awake.

To-Do

1. Deployment error fix over https. The project deploys but isn't able to connect over a secure connection and since Heroku uses https, the web socket fails to establish connection. [Possible fix could be using daphne].
