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

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.

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

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?

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.

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?

Congrats!

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.

Congratulations. Now, can we get a central go-to page for instant updates of service status? Yesterday you had 30+ minutes of downtime plus a bunch of small hiccups through the day. All information we got was two (2!) tweets, plus an eventual reply from customer service, which I don't suppose I would've gotten unless I sent requests. This means I, as a customer, is pretty much left in the dark as to what is going on and why all my sites are unreachable. GitHub understands this: http://github.com/blog/520-a-note-on-today-s-ou...

Thanks for an otherwise great service.

You're welcome to post them wherever! Just embed the original vimeo link, instead of copying the video.

Hey - these screencasts are helpful.

I'd like to add these on http://www.learnivore.com (programming screencasts aggregator, mostly oriented toward ruby and rails currently) - would you be ok with that ?

cheers and I think it's a nice idea!

I'm only blogging for GitHub, and the Rebase will go on.

Re: Heroku | Heroku Sass

danieldrehmer — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 16:03:21 -0000

Why not simply recommending Compass, which compiles CSS from Sass in realtime in the development environment?

Then simply commit without excluding the 'public/stylesheets/compiled' path and you're safe!

I think it's the way to go, no additional plugins in production, which is always recommended.

Great, will be using this for sure.
