Default Procfile

When you use the Forge buildpack, Heroku will automatically set up a Procfile for you. Here's what it does:

web: forge heroku serve
release: forge heroku pre-deploy

If you need to customize your Procfile, simply add one to your repo!

Deploy checks

In the Heroku "release" phase we run manage.py check --deploy --fail-level WARNING as part of forge heroku pre-deploy.

This runs a number of Django system checks (many related to the settings above) and will prevent deploying your app if any checks fail. You can also create your own checks that will run during this process.

Migrations

The forge heroku pre-deploy will also run manage.py migrate to ensure that your database is up to date.
