Oh man. That suuuuuucks. I'm sorry that happened! 😟 Especially right after posting about it on Reddit etc, that must've been quite the gut punch.
It's a super easy mistake to make - I think all you can do is learn from it to double check what's in the terminal before smoshing Enter but I think sometimes that sort of thing just happens.
On that note, I highly recommend Digital Ocean for hosting your apps when you're getting to the stage where you are now, as you're clearly moving into production.
Heroku is fun and easy to set up for hobbyist projects, but isn't cost effective in the long term if you plan on scaling Logname upwards as a business.
I mention DO in particular is because I love their automatic weekly backups service on Databases, especially because of the super clear pricing whereby the backups cost a flat 20% on top of your basic rate.
Shamelessly plugging my referral link: m.do.co/c/31c29b0c4e37 <-- You get $100 USD in DO credits using this link.
I actually used DO before but I found Heroku much easier to start with. I agree the price is expensive when you scale up but I have never need to do it in the first place.
Hopefully that will change soon!.
Thanks for the referral link. Will keep that when I used DO the next time.

Good luck out there.
