Your admin backend is now deployed in a remote Heroku application. 🎉
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 how-to.
This does not mean your project is deployed to production on Forest Admin. To deploy to production, check out this section after you've completed the above steps.
