I have gone through this process before. I would highly recommend following the steps in this article: https://medium.com/@hdsingh13/deploying-django-app-on-heroku-with-postgres-as-backend-b2f3194e8a43 .

It explains exactly what you need to do to deploy your web application to Heroku w/ Django and Postgres.
