# Use GitLab CI/CD to deploy to Heroku
|
|
|
|
You can deploy an application to Heroku by using GitLab CI/CD.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- A [Heroku](https://id.heroku.com/login) account.
|
|
Sign in with an existing Heroku account or create a new one.
|
|
|
|
## Deploy to Heroku
|
|
|
|
1. In Heroku:
|
|
1. Create an application and copy the application name.
|
|
1. Browse to **Account Settings** and copy the API key.
|
|
1. In your GitLab project, create two [variables](../../ci/variables/index.md):
|
|
- `HEROKU_APP_NAME` for the application name.
|
|
- `HEROKU_PRODUCTION_KEY` for the API key
|
|
1. Edit your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to add the Heroku deployment command. This example uses the `dpl` gem for Ruby:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
heroku_deploy:
|
|
stage: production
|
|
script:
|
|
- gem install dpl
|
|
- dpl --provider=heroku --app=$HEROKU_APP_NAME --api-key=$HEROKU_PRODUCTION_KEY
|
|
```
