## Deploy your admin backend on Heroku

This tutorial is designed to assist people who want to have a step-by-step guide to deploy the Lumber-generated admin backend to Heroku.

If you don’t have a Heroku account yet, [sign up here](https://signup.heroku.com/). Then, create your first Heroku application **(1)** **(2)**.

After creating your application, simply follow the Heroku guide “Deploy using Heroku Git” to push the lumber-generated admin backend code to the Heroku application.

Push your code using the following command:

{% hint style="success" %}
Your admin backend is now deployed in a remote Heroku application. 🎉
{% endhint %}

The last step to have a complete running application is to deploy a database remotely.

For this, you can follow our [Populate a remote database](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/extra-help/databases/populate-a-postgresql-database-on-heroku) how-to.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This does **not** mean your project is deployed to production on Forest Admin. To deploy to production, check out [this section](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/how-it-works/environments#deploying-to-production) after you've completed the above steps.
