Pre requisites

Step 1: Clone Authorizer Heroku App

The Authorizer app with Heroku buildpack/configuration is available at: Github.

Clone the above repository.

git clone https://github.com/authorizerdev/authorizer-heroku
cd authorizer-heroku

If you already have this, then pull the latest changes which will have the updated GraphQL engine Docker image.

Step 2: Attach Heroku app

Let’s say your Heroku app is called authorizer-heroku and is running on heroku.

From inside the graphql-engine-heroku directory, use the Heroku CLI to configure the git repo you cloned in Step 1 to be able to push to this app.

# Replace authorizer-heroku with your Heroku app's name
 
heroku git:remote -a authorizer-heroku
heroku stack:set container -a authorizer-heroku

You can find your Heroku git repo in your Heroku - Settings - Info - Heroku Git URL

Step 3: git push to deploy the latest Authorizer GraphQL engine

When you git push to deploy, the Heroku app will get updated with the latest changes:

git push heroku main
