How to get around Heroku resetting files?

Question

I have to python files that create and read text from a .txt file, in order for them to work they need to know the info inside of the .txt file.

In heroku I have a scheduler that runs one file, then the other. The big problem is that the files are reset every time to their state from the original repo. How can I get around this?

Heroku does not offer a persistent file system. You will need to store them in another service (like S3), or depending on what the contents of your files are, redesign to write and read from a database instead.

Amazon Simple Storage Service. Here's some documentation geared towards using it with Heroku. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/s3 – P Ackerman Oct 11 '17 at 03:01
