- create heroku account
- install heroku CLI
- goto local project git directory
- login into heroku cli :
heroku login
- enter credentials -> login success
- heroku starts server on port 5000! the code has been designed to accept port from external environment

heroku create app_name : heroku create short-url-abhi : this creates a git project named short-url-abhi assosiated to heroku
- goto heroku dashboard -> app -> settings -> config vars : add .env variables
- push commited project to heroku master branch :
git push heroku master : makes the project live at returned url
