Migrate to a PaaS solution

[jsolly]

Context

We currently have the site running on a Linode Ubuntu container with NGINX functioning as a reverse proxy and Gunicorn as an application server. All images and content are stored on the server.

Ideal behavior

With a PaaS solution like Heroku, I can stop thinking about firewalls, OS updates, and all that 'IT stuff.' It would also allow me to easily set up QA/staging environments with very little overhead.

Things to consider

Since everything is on one machine (Web server, postgres, images, static content), I'll have to do some thinking about how I want to do the deployment.

It might make sense to put some of these pieces on their own node and put uploaded images on a storage site like S3.

Hello @jsolly

Have you worked on this now?
Considering closing the issue

[jsolly]

I am going to revisit this issue once #118 is implemented, so let's keep it open.

Going to keep things as they are for now.
