I'm trying to deploy my app on Heroku but I keep getting the same error I get locally when trying to start the server before starting the database:
psycopg2.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
Normally, I would just type sudo service postgresql start
and that would solve it but it doesn't seem to work on Heroku bash.
Any suggestions?

You need to check if PostgreSQL addon is added to your project if not then you will need to add that by running
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
For more option follow this link: https://www.heroku.com/postgres
