A Heroku buildpack that deploys create-react-app single-page React applications as static sites on Heroku. It is now end-of-life because the underlying static web server buildpack is deprecated on newer Heroku stacks.

Use cases

• deploy a create-react-app app to heroku
• host a react spa as static files on heroku
• heroku buildpack for react apps
• serve a react single page app from heroku
• deploy react build output to heroku

When to choose

• you are maintaining a legacy Heroku app on an older stack (Heroku-18/20) that already uses this buildpack
• you need to reference the original approach for historical or migration purposes

When to avoid

• you are starting a new React project on Heroku
• you target Heroku-22 or newer stacks where the static buildpack is unsupported
• you want a maintained deployment path - use Next.js or Remix with the Node.js buildpack instead
