So... I use quick.db for my Discord bot's Economy System. It's all perfectly set up however every time I deploy an another update for my Discord bot from Github, the db does not save, and everyone's stats across everyone's server reset back to 0, why is this? Someone told me that it's because Heroku doesn't save "persistent" data, but I have hopes for a solution. Please let me know if there is any way to resolve this, and what the problem is, many thanks in advance.

  • I'm facing the same problem on Heroku I don't think that Heroku doesn't save persistence data because my database can carry many users when they signed up on Heroku and that not works in else cases. just I'm following up the answers. – Abdelhamed Abdin Jun 08 '20 at 22:46
  • Oh, I see, but there is there any solution to it though? – user13709658 Jun 08 '20 at 22:51
  • There isn't enough information in your question to answer this question. It's entirely dependent on where everything's stored, how it's stored and what the updates are – Joundill Jun 09 '20 at 01:50
  • quick.db is based on sqlite3 which is a local database. Despite your `heroku-postgres` tag you are not using postgres. You need to use postgres however to have a persistent data storage on Heroku however. – Tin Nguyen Jun 09 '20 at 07:51
  • @Joundill it's all stored through an sqlite file in my Github repository. I don't use an external-db. – user13709658 Jun 09 '20 at 10:48

That's because Heroku Dyno Storage is "Ephemeral" which means that every day the db will be reset because it is taken again from your github or from where it's deploying
