Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be convenient to have a persistent instance of Soul running, to test against.

Describe the solution you'd like
A heroku-hosted instance of Soul, connected to the chinook.db database.

The heroku hosting wouldn't be persistent, so after some minutes of inactivity the instance would be restored to the contents of main.

I think we just provide a Procfile to Heroku giving the command to run.

This wouldn't have a UI - it would just give an API end-point for devs to ping against. But, running Soul-Studio inside it could prove useful.

Even better would be Heroku previews of PRs, so a stakeholder can test-drive new features.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

This is a really nice thing, though I think that Heroku got rid of the free plans, do you have any alternative free ones in mind?

I have an eco plan with Heroku, which gives unlimited repos for $5/month. It would be neater for this to be under your ownership, but I don't have a problem providing Heroku deployment of the main branch plus preview instances of PRs.
