?> Here, 'notykt' is an app name, you can keep it as per your choice and it should be unique.
After project creation, you'll get URL for the application which can be accessible publicly once deployment is completed.
- Now create database for Heroku application backend. Run the command to create database on Heroku.

!> Keep Heroku database credentials safe!
⛓️ Setting up environment variables
As we set up environment variables locally we need to set up it for Heroku app as well. Just execute commands as following.
heroku config:set SECRET_KEY=f84795t89t329385htgriw598hi54
heroku config:set DATABASE_HOST=ec2-3-210-52-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com
heroku config:set DATABASE_PORT=5432
heroku config:set DATABASE_NAME=d9ks6apec762i9
heroku config:set DATABASE_USER=eolncfonigjlqw
heroku config:set DATABASE_PASSWORD=cdf91ee8a061496459u40950ae4e1fe0f69d0d3e6
?> Replace your Heroku database credentials with the values which you retrieved in the previous step.
Once this is done, just set up deployment configuration.
