Performing our First Deployment and connecting our custom Domain to Netlify & Heroku
Since domain setup can take some time, we’ll connect our custom domain or subdomain from the domain registrar to both our Netlify (frontend) and Heroku (backend) apps now. This way, our first deployment will already be live on our custom domain, avoiding the need to switch from temporary URLs later.
