Load custom maintenance page to Heroku

Question

Heroku can display custom maintenance page:

heroku config:set MAINTENANCE_PAGE_URL=http://some_server/my_page.html

This requires presence of some website where the page will be always online.

Could the maintenance page be loaded into Heroku once and forever?

No, since there will be no way for the Heroku router to show it if there is a maintenance problem on Heroku.

The canonical way is to put that page on Amazon S3, or any other provider that can serve static pages.

Could I know that how to revert back to show default page after setting this config ? I tried to do that by deleting the key. But it still display the custom site. – Chamod Oct 20 '20 at 17:26
just remove the key, and then restart the heroku server, it should reflect ur change in sometime, it takes time – Apoorv Oct 22 '20 at 07:48
