Heroku has an “ephemeral” hard drive, this means that you can write files to disk, but those files will not persist after the application is restarted. You would get them lost in case you restart your dyno or deploy a new release (Active Storage on Heroku.

But you have a few options to get your data stored although that is the case.

  1. Use one of Herokus services to do so and pay for it (Databases & Data Management
  2. Use one of the third party providers which offer their services at Herokus marketplace and pay for it (Heroku Add-ons
  3. Use one of your personal preferred other providers which offers such kind of data storage service (e.g. one of those: HDrive.

Which options would fit your plan depends a bit on your application and the kind of data you want to store. You are using a sqlite-db and need an additional file storage and all together needs to be migrated to Heroku: Migrating your Django Project to Heroku
