Run Hasura GraphQL engine on Heroku
===================================
.. contents:: Table of contents
:backlinks: none
:depth: 2
:local:
This guide will help you get the Hasura GraphQL engine running as a "git push to deploy" app on
`Heroku <https://www.heroku.com/platform>`_ and connecting it to a `Heroku Postgres <https://www.heroku.com/postgres>`_
instance. If you want a simple, quick deployment on Heroku, follow this :ref:`Heroku quickstart
guide <heroku_simple>`.
Clone the Hasura GraphQL engine Heroku app
------------------------------------------
The Hasura app with Heroku buildpack/configuration is available at:
https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-heroku
Configure database URL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Edit the command in the ``Dockerfile`` to change which database the Hasura GraphQL engine connects to.
By default, it connects to the primary database in your app which is available at ``DATABASE_URL``.
.. code-block:: dockerfile
:emphasize-lines: 6
FROM hasura/graphql-engine:latest
# Change $DATABASE_URL to your Heroku Postgres URL if you're not using
# the primary Postgres instance in your app
CMD graphql-engine \
--database-url $DATABASE_URL \
serve \
--server-port $PORT \
--enable-console
Read about more configuration options :ref:`here <server_flag_reference>`.
.. note::
Hasura GraphQL engine needs access permissions to your Postgres database as described in
:ref:`Postgres permissions <postgres_permissions>`.
Deploying
---------
These are some sample deployment instructions while creating a new app.
Step 1: Create an app with **--stack=container**
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Use the `Heroku CLI <https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli>`_ to create a new Heroku app. Let's call
the app ``graphql-on-postgres``.
.. code-block:: bash
# Replace graphql-on-postgres with whatever you'd like your app to be called
$ heroku create graphql-on-postgres --stack=container
Creating ⬢ graphql-on-postgres... done, stack is container
https://graphql-on-postgres.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/graphql-on-postgres.git
**Note**:
- ``HEROKU_GIT_REMOTE``: `https://git.heroku.com/graphql-on-postgres.git`
- ``HEROKU_APP_URL``: `https://graphql-on-postgres.herokuapp.com/`
Step 2: Create the Heroku Postgres add-on
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Create the Postgres add-on in your Heroku app.
.. code-block:: bash
$ heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev -a graphql-on-postgres
Creating heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev on ⬢ graphql-on-postgres... free
Database has been created and is available
! This database is empty. If upgrading, you can transfer
! data from another database with pg:copy
Created postgresql-angular-20334 as DATABASE_URL
Use heroku addons:docs heroku-postgresql to view documentation
Step 3: **git push** to deploy
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Remember to change ``HEROKU_GIT_REMOTE`` to your git remote below. In our case:
``https://git.heroku.com/graphql-on-postgres.git``.
.. code-block:: bash
$ git init && git add .
$ git commit -m "first commit"
$ git remote add heroku HEROKU_GIT_REMOTE
$ git push heroku master
Visit ``https://graphql-on-postgres.herokuapp.com`` (replace ``graphql-on-postgres`` with your app name) and
you should see the Hasura console.
