## What it is
A template repository for deploying and running WordPress on Heroku, bundling plugins for PostgreSQL support, S3/CloudFront media storage, SendGrid email, and HTTPS. It provides configuration and setup instructions so a WordPress site can be launched with a simple git push.

## Use cases
- deploy wordpress to heroku
- run a blog on heroku for free
- host wordpress with postgres instead of mysql
- set up wordpress with s3 media uploads
- quickly spin up a self-hosted wordpress site
- configure wordpress secrets via environment variables

## When to choose
- you want a one-command WordPress deployment on Heroku
- you need WordPress running on PostgreSQL
- you want media offloaded to S3/CloudFront on a stateless host

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, up-to-date WordPress deployment (last release 2017)
- you deploy to platforms other than Heroku
- you require the latest WordPress/PHP versions or security patches
- you prefer MySQL/MariaDB hosting
