Follow the steps below to get Sentry up and running on Heroku:

1. Create a new Heroku application. Replace "APP_NAME" with your application's name:

    heroku apps:create APP_NAME
   

2. Add PostgresSQL to the application:

    heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
   

3. Add Redis to the application:

    heroku addons:create heroku-redis
   

4. Set Django's secret key for cryptographic signing and Sentry's shared secret for global administration privileges:

    heroku config:set SECRET_KEY=$(python -c "import base64, os; print(base64.b64encode(os.urandom(40)).decode())")
   

5. Set the absolute URL to the Sentry root directory. The URL should not include a trailing slash. Replace the URL below with your application's URL:

    heroku config:set SENTRY_URL_PREFIX=https://sentry-example.herokuapp.com
   

6. Deploy Sentry to Heroku:

    git push heroku master
   

7. Run Sentry's database migrations:

    heroku run "sentry --config=sentry.conf.py upgrade --noinput"
   

8. Create a user account for yourself:

    heroku run "sentry --config=sentry.conf.py createuser"
   

That's it!

Follow the steps below, if you want to enable Sentry's email notifications:

1. Add either SendGrid or Mandrill add-on to your Heroku application:

    heroku addons:create sendgrid
   

2. Set the reply-to email address for outgoing mail:

    heroku config:set [email protected]
   

1. Run the following command to update the requirements:

    pip-contrib requirements.in
   

   If the pip-contrib package isn't available in your machine, install it with:

    pip install pip-tools
   

2. Deploy the Heroku app:

    git push heroku master
   

3. You might need to run migrations or update ENV variables, depending on Sentry's version you are upgrading to.
