Django has been able to run on Heroku for a while now. This topic keeps coming up over and over again and it is very old news. There are a lot of major flaws in running Django on Heroku right now too simply because of how their system works.

A database is not required fr Django.
As much as I've come to enjoy and appreciate the various start-ups whose mantra was "We're Heroku with Python/Django capabilities", it will be interesting to see which of those survive the next 8-12 months now that Heroku officially supports that stack. It'd be a shame to see ep.io and Gondor go the way of the dodo bird, but what sets them apart now?

$ ls app.py,requirements.txt,Procfile $ git init $ git add . $ git commit -m "Init" $ heroku create --stack cedar $ git push heroku master With that Heroku becomes the Heroku for Django.
