There are several different databases available on Heroku – you can view the options and add them to your app at addons.heroku.com. Probably the first/most basic database is Postgres – here is the heroku Postgres tutorial. Quoted from the relevant section:
Heroku config vars are set as environment variables when your app is created. Thus you can probably read the
DATABASE_URLenvironment variable to get the information you need to connect to your database.
