[BUG] Approveman stopped working for us

Describe the bug Our approveman stopped working.

Everything was working flawlessly for the last 8 months and then 3 days ago it stopped. Is there something on your end that is down?

It stopped working for us in the same manner. We've been using it for about 10 months without any problems, and then 3 days ago, it just stopped even appearing in the PR checks.

I noticed that there's a commit from 3 days ago (coincidence?) that failed publish and release steps.

oh good catch... it's probably because Heroku terminated the free tier service :(

Let me try to figure out how to move forward in the future over the weekend

Has there been any movement with this?

I'm weighing the pain of ripping out Approveman vs. the pain of it not working and that depends on how long it might be an issue.

I will be migrating to paid service this week ($7/month fully transparent) and setting up a donation channel for this repository.

I will be running a trial for two months and see if it can cover the cost. If so, I will keep on hosting the service.

If it's too hard to cover the cost, I will document a way for self-hosting and keep on maintaining the repository.

It's unfortunate that salesforce decided to terminate the free service :(

The stack should be up and running now. I will be looking for some channels for sponsorship or similar things. will post an issue by then.

Awesome! Thank you so much! And thanks for this very helpful tool.

That's a shame about Heroku removing their free service.

Thanks so much for reenabling this!

Have you thought about migrating this to another free service such as fly.io?
