🔸 Deploy it on Heroku

Why do we need it to deploy on heroku ?

• If we run it on localhost we have to always manually start it.
  (And if we do that then why we should call it a BOT)

• It will consume our cpu usage, data usage and our time.

• Heroku provides free server hosting and 500hrs monthly
  usage which will be more than enough for us.
