The text provides a detailed guide on installing and deploying a Strapi application on Heroku, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that supports various programming languages. Initially, users are instructed to set up Strapi locally using the command `npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart`, which creates a project folder and installs Strapi with a default SQLite database. The guide emphasizes that Heroku does not support SQLite, recommending the use of Heroku's PostgreSQL add-on to prevent data loss when deploying. It includes steps for creating a GitHub repository for version control and connecting it to Heroku for automatic deployment. Specific instructions are given for configuring the Postgres database and environment variables to ensure the application runs smoothly on Heroku. The guide concludes by noting that Pierre, along with Aurélien and Jim, founded Strapi in 2015, highlighting his passion for open-source and remote work environments.
