How to have Wordpress on a /blog directoy of a Flask app running on Heroku

I have an app running on Heroku that use the domain example.com and a blog running on another host, Dreamhost, that uses the domain blog.example.com. For SEO purposes, I want to have the blog appear on example.com/blog. How could I achieve this? My Googling powers have failed me, although it appears that using some Nginx rewrites could be the solution. Any help is appreciated. Since it is for SEO purposes, I simple redirect won't do. I found this solution: How can I use a subdirectory instead of a subdomain?, but is specific to Ruby on Rails.

I am confused with what you are asking though, since Heroku a PaaS platform installing a webserver like nginx is not ease, i am guessing you may be using any nginx heroku buildpack with example.com pointing to nginx server in heroku, if these are correct then,
creating a reverse proxy in nginx will route sites accessingexample.com/blog to the address given

server {
  server_name example.com;
  location /blog/{
     proxy_pass blog.example.com;  # expect request timeout from example.com -> this server
     proxy_set_header Host $host;  # or replace with blog.example.com
     proxy_pass_request_headers on;
  }
}
