Chapter 6: 503 Error on vapor.cloud

📚 Official Books Server Side Swift with Vapor

I can successfully deploy the project to xxx.vapor.cloud and I can successfully use rested to call localhost:8080/api/acronyms, but when trying to do so on the xxx.vapor.cloud/api/acronyms I get the following back as a response header. Any suggestions? TIA

After doing a little digging here (thanks 0xtim!) I called vapor cloud logs.

@0xtim Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

Apologies for the delay - did you manage to get this working?

The problem you encountered was because you were trying to connect to a Postgres DB on localhost, which won’t exist in Vapor Cloud. Make sure you configure your DB correctly for the cloud, e.g. vapor-til/configure.swift at main · raywenderlich/vapor-til · GitHub
