HerokuOps

A (for now) very opinionated gem which has 3 sections:

• pipeline/app setup
• db restore (pull down your heroku database and psql < tmp/latest.db)
• deploys (push to heroku remotes)

These tasks will use the two following environment variables to determine your staging and production app names:

If these variables aren't present, it will default to the following format: "#{Rails.application.class.parent_name.underscore.gsub('_','-')}-#{environment}"

Addons

Setting up an app includes the following free Heroku addons:

• heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
• newrelic:wayne
• papertrail:choklad
• rediscloud:30
• scheduler:standard
• sendgrid:starter

App name configuration flags and more detailed documentation will come in a later version.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'heroku_ops', group: :development # No need to include this on production or staging

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install heroku_ops

Usage

To see an updated list of tasks and descriptions implemented in this gem: bundle exec rake heroku_ops -T heroku_ops
