Re: Heroku | Radiant CMS in 5 Minutes Or Less

Any chance you might be able to add the versions of radiant/rails/heroku gems to which this tutorial applies? Without a year at the end of the blog post date, I'm not quite sure if I'm not doing something according to spec, or if these directions are just a little out-of-date.

Wow sushi, nice! step up from the typically Pizza and soda/beer in my opinion. I think it is cheaper in SF than the Midwest though, and definitely fresher. :)

Re: Heroku | Tech: Sending email with Gmail

Your instructions are wrong...
It should be: heroku config:add GMAIL_SMTP_USER=username@gmail.com
Instead of: heroku config GMAIL_SMTP_USER=username@gmail.com
Same for the pass...

From http://heroku.com/myapss, you can select your app, select the add-on in the upper right corner add-ons menu, then remove with the button at the bottom of the page.

Re: Heroku | Howto: Heroku + Hoptoad

adamwilson — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:09:39 -0000

Hello

There seems to be a conflict in Rails 2.3.3 and the current version of the Hoptoad Notifier... resulting in a 500 Server error:

Status: 500 Internal Server Error
undefined method `to_hash' for #<CGI::Session:0x2b6b6fcfe918>
/disk1/home/slugs/81454_93ad4da_f9e7/mnt/vendor/plugins/hoptoad_notifier/lib/hoptoad_notifier/catcher.rb:59:in `request_data_for_hoptoad'

Are there any known workarounds for the moment?
Thanks

But the whole point of Heroku is to save developers the trouble of thinking
about implementation details like these. As long as the abstraction works,
I'd prefer to spend my time making my application better, rather than
learning how the addon does its job.

Anyway, you commented on your Google Group that you were considering killing
the Gmail addon, and I'd like to urge you to reconsider. Developers can
always go the plugin route (which is what I did since I implemented mail in
my apps before you had the addon) if they want to do extra work, but why not
give them the option of something easier?

These instructions are actually exactly what the gmail add-on does. We've heard from a lot of people they were concerned that the add-on was doing some magic, so we wanted to explain what's going on. This also gives you an easy route to use Gmail even if you're not on Heroku.

What's the difference between these instructions and the instructions in http://docs.heroku.com/gmail-smtp? (The Gmail addon seems like a cleaner solution (no need for a Rails plugin))

does pull replace data in the target database?

It works now. :) The simplicity of installing a new add-on to your app is just mind blowing.

solidsnack — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:14:08 -0000

I have a database where the `id` column is an UUID. This is completely ignored
by ActiveRecord's schema serializer, it turns out -- there is thus no way for me to
use this very nice feature.

Re: Heroku | The best camera is...

cgrusden — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:27:08 -0000

This is awesome guys! I've been following Chase for a few months now ever since getting into Photography and was wondering how much traffic he was getting from the iPhone app.

Funny thing is, as soon as I saw his site, I wanted to do something with the .json he was returning, so I built: http://www.thebestcameraonblack.com/ as a sinatra app... and then immediately hosted it on Heroku ... total time: 25min from writing the first line of code to fully deployed

Re: Heroku | Add-ons Launch

nanodeath — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 21:23:59 -0000

So this is a pretty sweet set of features, and I went ahead and added the New Relic addon, but...how do I remove addons?? (I don't actually need it yet) I can't find a way through the web interface -- shouldn't be that hard, but it doesn't seem possible. Or at least, not as intuitive as adding addons.

Thanks, keep up the great work!

It looks like the 3 minute overview video is not available?

edavis10 — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:33:13 -0000

Could you share a little bit about the monitoring services you have under development? I love using Heroku but without monitoring I've only been able to use it for staging and demo environments.

I have an idea on hooking up scoutapp.com, but I'd prefer using something supported by Heroku.

You guys are truly awesome.

Re: Heroku | Heroku Casts: Maintenance Mode

teich — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:29:07 -0000

That's an interesting idea. We'll add that to the backlog! Thanks.

What about throwing an app into maintenance mode if it crashes on startup?

Re: Heroku | Config Vars for Deploy-Specific Settings

tmatheson — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:47:57 -0000

why not just add .gitignore to the project root and include
config/amazon_keys.yml

Git will not commit this file if that entry is present.

It works well, but uploads are very slow. This method must not use compression.

Congrats, sounds like great growth for the company and exciting change for the team. Hoping to see some new great features soon.

Great news! Especially the one about a new status site :-)

Re: Heroku | Announcing Huge Growth and New CEO

jamesheroku — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:00:09 -0000

Thanks for your comments Harry. You're absolutely right - we've got a new status site we're going to be using moving forward:
http://status.heroku.com/

We did have a brief issue yesterday affecting some apps, and unfortunately we hadn't launched this site yet. We have just completed our analysis, and posted the details to the status site.

Moving forward, we will use that site as the main channel for service status updates. It is hosted on a separate provider from Heroku's main operations.
