Was wondering if anyone had experience with netlify and heroku. I have a project that’s using JS frontend and Rails as backend. Looks like heroku is working with the backend and netlify was able to deploy the app, but I don’t see anything on the heroku-app website or the netlify website . Any help is appreciated, thank you

hi there, not to be obtuse, but did you read the guide as we suggested? That would be our first step!

[rbcatong]

Hi yes, and I changed the publish directory. And it still isn’t showing up

Best,

Hi, @rbcatong. This looks like a Ruby on Rails site. That requires a Ruby application server and there is no application server at Netlify.

There is more about why this is here:

[Support Guide] Can I run a web server, HTTP listener, and/or database at Netlify?

How do I run a server/database at Netlify? We often get questions about how to run a specific backend server or database at Netlify. Examples of these types of questions include: How to I get my node HTTP listener to respond to requests? How do I start Mongo/MySQL/<insert-some-database-here> running on the server? How can I SSH into my website? We are here today to answer these questions - and the answer is: you can’t! What do you mean, I cannot run a server or database at Netlify?! …

If you need Ruby at “browse time” (meaning, Ruby server-side rendering) then it won’t be possible to host this site at Netlify.

If there are other questions about this, please let us know.

Hi yes I hosted the backend on heroku so I wanted to use Netlify to do the front end, but it’s not showing anything. I can see the backend via heroku.

Best,

hi there, can you change the base directory to makeup-frontend please?

the publish directory is for when you are using a static site generator and publishing a site that is built on deploy. You should leave it blank for this site as it is just some static html.
