So I have a go rest api running on Heroku. I had the free tier version but now we have moved the app to production and upgraded to a standard-0 database. None of my code changed the only thing that changed were environmental variables to connect to the database. However, when I try to connect to the database I get this error:
[BRONZE] [5-1] sql_error_code = 28000 FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "54.234.***.***", user "ub21ndj3*****", database "d8useg2o3****", SSL off
From my understanding its an SSL issue. What I don't understand is my app is running on Heroku servers so I shouldn't need to create a tls config to connect to the database and the same code was working with the previous database. Would there be another issue why I'm getting this error?
Heroku's standard databases and above require SSL connections as of April, 2016. You can see the Changelog entry here. You were able to use the same application code on a hobby database because they do not have the same restriction.
