🚀 Deployment

🚀 Step-by-Step Deployment Guide

Phase 1: Backend Deployment (Heroku)

Step 1: Create Heroku Account & Install CLI

Go to https://www.heroku.com
Sign up/Login with GitHub account
Install Heroku CLI: brew install heroku (macOS) or download from heroku.com/cli
Login: heroku login

Step 2: Create Heroku App

# Create app
heroku create bug-reporting-backend

# Add PostgreSQL database
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev

# Set environment variables
heroku config:set DEBUG=False
heroku config:set SECRET_KEY=$(python -c 'from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())')
heroku config:set CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://bug-reporting-system.vercel.app

Step 3: Deploy Backend

# Add Heroku remote
heroku git:remote -a bug-reporting-backend

# Deploy
git push heroku main

# Run migrations
heroku run python manage.py migrate

# Create superuser (optional)
heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser

Step 4: Verify Deployment

# Check logs
heroku logs --tail

# Test API
curl https://bug-reporting-backend.herokuapp.com/api/projects/

Phase 2: Frontend Deployment (Vercel)

Step 1: Create Vercel Account & Connect Repository

Go to https://vercel.com
Sign up/Login with GitHub account
Click "Add New Project"
Import your GitHub repository: mangeshraut712/Bug-Reporting-System

Step 2: Configure Build Settings

Framework Preset: React (auto-detected)
Build Command: npm run build (auto-detected from vercel.json)
Output Directory: build (auto-detected)
Root Directory: ./ (default)

Step 3: Set Environment Variables

Go to Settings → Environment Variables
Add variable:
- Name: REACT_APP_API_URL
- Value: https://bug-reporting-backend.herokuapp.com/api
- Environments: Production, Preview, Development

Step 4: Deploy Frontend

Click "Deploy"
Wait for build completion (2-3 minutes)
Note the frontend URL: https://bug-reporting-system.vercel.app

Phase 3: Post-Deployment Configuration

Step 1: Update Backend CORS Settings

# Update CORS to allow Vercel frontend
heroku config:set CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://bug-reporting-system.vercel.app

Step 2: Test API Connectivity

Visit your Vercel frontend URL
Try to register a new user
Check browser developer tools for any CORS errors
Verify API calls are working

Step 3: Verify Production Setup

✅ Frontend loads without errors
✅ User registration works
✅ API endpoints respond correctly
✅ No CORS errors in browser console
✅ SSL certificates active (automatic on both platforms)

Phase 4: Domain Configuration (Optional)

Custom Domain on Vercel

Go to Settings → Domains
Add custom domain
Configure DNS records as instructed
Update Heroku CORS settings with new domain

Custom Domain on Heroku

# Add custom domain
heroku domains:add www.yourdomain.com

# Configure DNS records as instructed
# Update Vercel environment variables with new backend URL

🔧 Troubleshooting Deployment Issues

Backend (Heroku) Issues

# Check logs
heroku logs --tail

# Common fixes:
# 1. Environment variables not set: heroku config
# 2. Database connection issues: heroku pg:info
# 3. Static files not collected: heroku run python manage.py collectstatic
# 4. Migration errors: heroku run python manage.py migrate --fake-initial

Frontend (Vercel) Issues

# Check deployment logs in Vercel dashboard
# Settings → Deployments → Click on failed deployment

# Common fixes:
# 1. REACT_APP_API_URL not set in environment variables
# 2. Build command failures: check build logs
# 3. Node version compatibility: verify node version

CORS Issues

Verify CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS in Heroku matches Vercel URL exactly
Check for https:// vs http:// mismatch
Ensure no trailing slashes in URLs
Redeploy backend after updating CORS: git push heroku main
