I have a local version of Strapi set up, and the codebase is pushing fine to Netlify for the frontend and Heroku for the backend.
However, I can't work out how to get the content held in the .tmp/data.db file into the mLab instance of the database on Heroku.
The structure is all in sync with my local version.
I've tried to export tables from SQL Lite to JSON files and then import them as collections using the CLI - which says it's imported the documents into Heroku (and I can see them in the mLab interface), but this was a last ditched attempt as I couldn't see a way of transferring the entire file.
However, this isn't working as the content types are still empty.
Make sure you well configured your ./config/environments/production/database.json with your mLab configs.
In development, you look using SQLite. This database is good for local development but can't be used in Heroku (see the storage system used by Heroku you will understand why.)
Be careful, you are using an SQL database in dev and a NoSQL database in production.
This looks special - depending on your data structure, you can have issues about the data migration. I don't suggest you to do that. Use the same type of database in dev and prod.

How the Heroku CLI tool manages DBs. What are the APIs they use? The tasks I am trying to do from the app are create/delete a postgres DB, create a dump, and import a dump using python code and not from the console or cli.
There is no publicly defined API for the Heroku Data products, unfortunately. That said, in my experience, the paths are fairly stable and can mostly be reasoned out. This CLI plugin might give you a head start on trying to work out the routes you'd need to hit in order to achieve your goals.
I'm currently working on a project with some colleagues and a colleague of mine linked a database created in her postgreSQL server to our visual studio project, but we don't know how she can share the database with the rest of us, or how can we modify the database without having it.
We're using postgreSQL 14.
One option is to create your database in a cloud provider such as AWS.
You can take a look at: https://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/
This way all of you will be able to access the database.
I built a Flask app with a SQLite database. Now, I want to actually upload the app for use. I uploaded to Github and connected the Github repo to Heroku but realized that I can't use SQLite with Heroku because the database resets every hour. It seems like using the Heroku Postgres database is best, but I'm not sure how to convert my app. All of the tutorials for creating Postgres flask apps I could find are completely different from each other but equally confusing (either they assume I already have something built that I don't or a step is missing or a first step simply doesn't work). How should I even get started with this?
I'm migrating off of Parse to self hosted Parse server. In my staging environment, I need to initialize MongoDB so that it has all the collections of my production environment, but no data. Is there a way to do this without the data? I've attempted to clone my Parse DB and export the cloned DB's collections, but this has no effect on the collections visible to me through Parse Dashboard. Anyone know if this is possible?
Migrate your data, then use the parse dashboard and delete all the rows.
The database migration tool can be found in the Dashboard under App Settings → General → Migrate to external database.

I'm using an orientdb server for developments. Work great. Has classes, about to add support for files, etc. I'm about to provision a server on Azure for orientdb for testing by external people.
Question is
What is the database migration plan as in how to move data between the test database and the development database? Currently, it is just data but soon files will be added. coming from EF background
you can simply make a copy of db folder from test instance to develop.
Alternatively you can do an export (in.gz format) from test and then import in develop
