Heroku deletes files in your public folder every time it instantiates a new VM (usually after your app has been dormant for a few minutes.)

You need to store your images in a place where they will persist when a VM is destroyed. Heroku has a tutorial on how to store the files at S3 here:

  • Sign up for an AWS S3 account. (Its really cheap within normal usage imo)
  • Use Fog. There is a guide here.
  • Sign the S3 image urls when serving to frontend, to expire in 4-5 hours.
