When I deploy to heroku does that include the database?

[AricCaley]

If I develop an app for a client using the database backend services, will they be forever tied to my appery account using the database, or does that also get deployed on heroku?

Hello Aric,

The database remains in Appery.io, it is NOT transferred to heroku.

[AricCaley]

Are there any options for self hosting the database? Can it be transferred to another appery account? This is for small client.

For another project if it became large with many users, what are the scalability options?

I was going to use another backend (dreamfactory) but the appery database is just so darn easy to use..

Hi Aric,

You can use any 3rd party REST API in appery.io application.

But if you want to use appery.io REST api you have following options:

1 Create new DB for your client.

2 Use import and export DB functionality to transfer your DB to client Appery.io DB.

Regards.
