4. Save this connection string in heroku Config Vars with name MONGODB_URI and value key MongoURI.
5. create an environment variable called SECRET_JWT and add your JWT token

Deploy

1. Install heroku CLI.
2. Sign in to heroku and created your dyno cluster

then run the command

git push heroku master

note: remember to have the aforementioned environment variables already configured before deploy the application
