Kirby (flatfile) on Heroku

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to use Heroku (https://heroku.com) as a hosting for Kirby?
Everytime I deploy my local code to Heroku, the admin and content gets overwritten.
So when I go to Custom Application Development Software for Business - Salesforce.com, I need to re-create an admin account.

Is the solution as simple as adding the admin and content folder to a .gitignore file?

you can use kirby with heroku but you need to load all pages from a db connection as virtual pages. also things like cache and users will still be not persistent.

all uploads must go into that db or things like s3. kirby does not have a file abstration layer built in so you can (an probably never in k3) use stuff like s3 for content easily. there was some discussion on discord about a fork that might add file layer abstraction s3 support.
