Deploy on Heroku

Create Instance

Deploy Authorizer with PostgreSQL on Heroku:

After clicking the button:

Step 1: Enter the App name

The app name becomes your URL. For example, authorizer-demo gives you authorizer-demo.herokuapp.com.

Step 2: Choose the Region and deploy

Select your deployment region (United States or Europe).

Step 3: Configure for v2

For Authorizer v2, configure the following required variables in your Heroku app settings under Config Vars:

Variable	Example Value
DATABASE_TYPE	postgres
DATABASE_URL	(auto-configured by Heroku add-on)
JWT_TYPE	HS256
JWT_SECRET	test
ADMIN_SECRET	admin
CLIENT_ID	123456
CLIENT_SECRET	secret

Update the Procfile or startup command to pass CLI flags:

web: ./build/server --database-type=$DATABASE_TYPE --database-url=$DATABASE_URL --jwt-type=$JWT_TYPE --jwt-secret=$JWT_SECRET --admin-secret=$ADMIN_SECRET --client-id=$CLIENT_ID --client-secret=$CLIENT_SECRET
