Setting up Heroku Scheduler

If students will be modifying the data from this API, it is a good idea to regularly reset the database. You can do so by using the Heroku Scheduler.

From the command line, run the following command:

heroku addons:create scheduler:standard

Then, run the following command:

heroku addons:open scheduler

Finally, add a new job. You can set the npm run reset-db command to run as often as you like.
