Welcome @Mica_Jenik

This error happens when your agent can’t reach the database at startup.

In this case, I see in the error log that you posted, that your agent is configured to search for the database in "localhost’, which is unlikely in a heroku environment.

Changing the DATABASE_URL environment variable to an URI pointing to your database server should solve the issue.

Thank you so much ! And where can I find the database_url field?

To change environment variables on heroku, I can only refer you to their documentation: Configuration and Config Vars | Heroku Dev Center

About the value of the variable itself, it depends on where your database is hosted.
