+Since the filesystem on Heroku is ephemeral, non-version controlled files (like a SQLite database) will be lost at least once every 24 hours. Therefore, a persistent, standalone database like PostgreSQL is recommended. This application will work with any database backend that is compatible with SQLAlchemy, but we provide specific instructions for Postgres, (including the required library ``psycopg2-binary``).
 
-**WARNING!** ``psycopg2-binary`` package is a practical choice for development and testing but in production it is advised to use the package built from sources.
