Applications deployed on Heroku don't have a static IP address. But you might need a static IP address to connect with servers outside of Heroku, like a remote database or Solr instance.
We recommend the QuotaGuard Static Heroku add-on to manage static IP addresses for your Django application.
We've used it in these projects:
-
ccfp-asset-dashboard
- the app runs with the qgtunnel process. connects with a remote database that required an IP address.
- PR example
-
Illinois Wastewater Surveillance System
- run the qgtunnel process for a scheduled ETL, because it connects to a remote database.
