How to Deploy to Heroku

0. Make sure you have Git setup
1. Setup Heroku CLI: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#set-up
2. Create a Procfile in the root folder of your project and put the following in it:

web: node dist/index.js

3. In your package.json add the following script to run the TypeScript compiler before Heroku runs your project:

"heroku-postbuild": "tsc"

4. In the root folder of your project, use the Heroku CLI to create a new project:

heroku create

5. Add a PostgreSQL database addon

heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql

6. Commit your code and push to Heroku

git push heroku master

Note: You'll want to look at your ormconfig.js and configure the options you want for production.
