+## Docker
+
+As an alternative to git deploys, Heroku also [supports container images](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/container-registry-and-runtime).
+
+Login to Heroku's container registry:
+
+```shell
+$ heroku container:login
+```
+
+Configure the Heroku app to run a container image:
+
+```shell
+$ heroku stack:set container -a <your-app>
+```
+
+Locally run the [host build command](https://backstage.io/docs/deployment/docker/#host-build):
+```shell
+$ yarn build:backend --config ../../app-config.yaml --config ../../app-config.production.yaml
+```
+
+Build, push, and release the container image:
+```shell
+$ docker image build . -f packages/backend/Dockerfile --tag registry.heroku.com/<your-app>/web
+
+$ docker push registry.heroku.com/<your-app>/web
+
+$ heroku container:release web -a <your-app>
