I have been trying app platform for a week now, it’s great but the problem is for every deployment, the database rollback to its original state and so I loose the data and I have to make migrations every time. I was using sample Django app for testing and this issue happened so I thought maybe it’s because of this app. I deployed my own Django app and the issue happened again.

Hi there,
In order to have persistent data, you would need to use a Managed Database or a Dev Database.
You can follow the steps on how to set all that up here:

Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
