databases:
  - name: hocthoi_api
    databaseName: hocthoi_api
    user: hocthoi_api
    plan: free

services:
  - type: web
    name: hocthoi_api
    env: ruby
    plan: free
    autoDeploy: true
    buildCommand: "./bin/render-build.sh"
    startCommand: "bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb"
    envVars:
      - key: DATABASE_URL
        fromDatabase:
          name: hocthoi_api
          property: connectionString
      - key: RAILS_MASTER_KEY

Re-generate master.key if needed.

  1. Export database from Heroku

https://render.com/docs/migrate-from-heroku

heroku pg:backups:capture --app <HEROKU APP NAME>

heroku pg:backups:download --app <HEROKU APP NAME>

pg_restore --clean --verbose  --no-acl --no-owner -d <EXTERNAL CONNECTION STRING> latest.dump

Add –clean flag to override table if needed.
