#### 4. Create your Heroku database config file for production

Create new subfolders in `./config` like so: `/env/production`, then create a new `database.js` in it (see [environment documentation](http://localhost:8080/documentation/developer-docs/latest/setup-deployment-guides/configurations/optional/environment.md)). Your path should look like this: `./config/env/production/database.js`. When you run locally you should be using the `./config/database.js` which could be set to use SQLite, however it's recommended you use PostgreSQL locally also, for information on configuring your local database, please see the [database documentation](/developer-docs/latest/setup-deployment-guides/configurations/required/databases.md).

#### 5. Create your Strapi server config for production

Create a new `server.js` in a new [env](http://localhost:8080/documentation/developer-docs/latest/setup-deployment-guides/configurations/optional/environment.md) folder. In this file you only need one key, the `url`, to notify Strapi what our public Heroku domain is. All other settings will automatically be pulled from the default `./config/server.js`.
