deployment to heroku about rota-slackbot HOT 3 CLOSED

I deploy my Slackbots to Heroku (it's my primary deployment / hosting), and Rota is successfully in production on Heroku.

The README for this repo has the following information in it:

If you want fast, easy deployments with CI/CD features and don't want to deal with devops, domains, or configuring SSL, I recommend a hobby dyno on Heroku.

Note: A free dyno on Heroku will not work well because the app will sleep after 30 minutes, which causes long response times when it needs to wake back up.

If using DigitalOcean (or a similar VPS), input your production environment variables in a .env file on your server.

If using Heroku, input your production environment variables in your Heroku app settings.

Whatever deployment option you choose, once you have a public domain for your Slack app with SSL, go into your production Slack app settings and update the Event Subscriptions Request URL to https://your-public-url/slack/events.
