Great stuff, what's the difference between deploying with a db like postgres and just deploying with Django's default db engine?

There's just the difference of the database engine used, Its SQLite used in defualt django db, whereas Heroku provides a add-on to attach PostgreSQL db to the djang application.
They are quite similar but have their own use cases, SQLite is mostly used for embedded systems and mobile apps, whereas PostgreSQL is suitable for client server apps basically over a network.
