Allowing Integrate.io ETL access to Heroku Postgres Databases

Integrate.io ETL can read data from your Heroku Postgres databases or write data to them. This article discusses providing Integrate.io ETL access on your Heroku Postgres database and then details creating the Heroku Postgres database connection in Integrate.io ETL.

You must provide Integrate.io ETL access to your Heroku Postgres database. If it is behind a firewall:

  • Create a user and grant it minimum permissions required for Integrate.io ETL to read or write data from the database.
  • Allow access from Integrate.io ETL's IP addresses to your Heroku Postgres database port (Refer to this article if you'd prefer to create an SSH tunnel or reverse SSH tunnel.)
