Hello there!

Did you by any chance set up a database (SQLite, MongoDB or Postgres) in the process of deploying your Strapi app?

Without setting up a database for your Strapi app, you will lose your data and will have to recreate the content.

Here are some hosting services and docs to configure your database before deployment: Deployment - Strapi Developer Docs

Set the DATABASE_CLIENT environment variable to the correct database:

DATABASE_CLIENT=postgres

By default it was using the local data.db file used with SQL lite, and I was wondering why the database was being erased each time I pushed to production.

const client = env('DATABASE_CLIENT', 'sqlite');
