I'm working on my first app, and I've avoided having to ask any questions so far, but here we are at deployment.
Here is my code: (Note: The majority of the program is in '/starWarsMeals/djangoStarWarsMeals/appStarWarsMeals/utils.py' and not 'models.py'. I didn't feel a database was my best choice for this app, as the 'swapi' API I am pulling data from may change. I figured it would be best to cache the results of the API vs. updating a database periodically.)

I am trying to deploy my Django app to Heroku, but I get the following 'h12' error code:

My suspicion is that the API calls at the beginning of the script in 'utils.py' are taking too long and causing Heroku to time out. However, I'd like a professional opinion before trying to refactor my code. Also, the last thing I changed in the app was setting the environment variables if that is helpful.
I tried deploying to Python Anywhere just to see if I could find anymore information. I got the 'Something went wrong' page and related error log:

Notes:
I did make sure to change 'ALLOWED_HOSTS' in 'settings.py' for each attempted deploy. I tried setting it to 'localhost' for both Heroku and Python anywhere. After Heroku told me to change it to my Heroku app url, I did, and it seemed like the app would run, but that's when I received the 'h12' error code.
I understand I went crazy with camel case. I will be fixing that, as well as updating the code later. I'm just trying to get something online for now.
I have researched this error code, but many of this is over my head, as I jumped headfirst into this app.
I am using: Django 3.0.3 Python 3.7 Everything in '/starWarsMeals/djangoStarWarsMeals/requirements.txt' (inside a virtual environment)
Any other code critiques are welcome!
Thank you!
It's obvious that you have a long-running process that is taking more than 30 seconds (Heroku's limit) to return any data to the client.
From your error logs, I noted that you don't have the secret key set. Have you set them in your environment variables or in
settings.py
, given that you also mentioned this above?
