Heroku Switcher

Ever thought of how can you run your heroku app without worrying about dyno hours or adding card to your heroku account? Heroku Switcher got you covered. It's a simple web app that allows you to keep your heroku apps running without worrying about anything.

Tech Stack

Usage

• Create two Heroku accounts
• Deploy your app on one heroku account only. We will call this your main account.
• Leave the second account as it is.
• Get API Keys from both the accounts and carefully fill all the required fields below.
• Once you have filled up everything carefully, click on Add APP. Voila! your Heroku App should run with no downtime.

Tips & Tricks for Heroku

• If you are using Gmail you can use googlemail.com domain to create new heroku account as Second account.
• You can make UL account in heroku by using a "+" and a name after your mail
  example:
  sayeed205@gmail.com this is my main mail and I can use sayeed205+xyz@gmail.com to create new account in heroku. If your main mail banned in heroku then this methode won't work
