Using Heroku Postgres from local development setup (take 2)

Previously wrote about this (Using Heroku Postgres from local development setup) but starting with Postgres 8 implicit disabling of certificate verification is deprecated and will be removed. To avoid the deprecation message add “rejectUnauthorized=false” to the URL as well so a full URL in your .env file (or similar will be):

DATABASE_URL=postgres://foo:bar@ec2-55-222-96-152.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:5432/baz?rejectUnauthorized=false&ssl=true
