-## Deployment to Heroku
-
-Follow these steps to deploy the application to Heroku:
-
-1. Install the Heroku CLI and log in:
-   ```bash
-   npm install -g heroku
-   heroku login
-   ```
-
-2. Create a new Heroku app:
-   ```bash
-   heroku create movie-management-api
-   ```
-
-3. Set up the Heroku PostgreSQL add-on:
-   ```bash
-   heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
-   ```
-
-4. Configure environment variables:
-   ```bash
-   heroku config:set NODE_ENV=production
-   heroku config:set JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key-here
-   heroku config:set JWT_EXPIRES_IN=1h
-   ```
-
-5. Deploy the application:
-   ```bash
-   git push heroku main
-   ```
-
-6. Open the application:
-   ```bash
-   heroku open

+### Deployment to Heroku (Template)
+
+The repository includes a commented template for automatic deployment to Heroku in the GitHub Actions workflow file. To enable it:
+
+1. Uncomment the deployment job in `.github/workflows/node.js.yml`
+2. Set up the following secrets in your GitHub repository:
+   - `HEROKU_API_KEY`: Your Heroku API key
+   - `HEROKU_APP_NAME`: Your Heroku application name
+   - `HEROKU_EMAIL`: Email associated with your Heroku account
+
+3. The deployment will automatically:
+   - Run after tests pass successfully
+   - Deploy only when changes are pushed to main/master
+   - Build the application for production
+   - Deploy to your Heroku app
+   - (Optional) Run database migrations
+
+This CI/CD pipeline ensures code quality and provides a streamlined path to production deployment.
