title: What to do about massive slug size on Heroku?
body: <p>I have a React app created via create-react-app that is my portfolio. It's standard out-of-the-box (not ejected). In the public folder, there are a bunch of my portfolio pieces (interactive websites). Some of the pieces are MASSIVE, so it's not a huge surprise that Heroku chokes (but it never did before this year?).</p>
  <p>It looks like the project is building fine, and then I get:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Compiled slug size: 945.3M is too large (max is 500M).</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Followed by:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>! [remote rejected] master -&gt; master (pre-receive hook declined)
  error: failed to push some refs to
  'https://git.heroku.com/some-project.git'</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>A portfolio site isn't going to be much good without portfolio pieces, so I'd like find out what I can do about this. Am I going to have to put my pieces up on a different server, or what?</p>
