Heroku Deployments

[tamagokun]

Cataloging notes and ideas about being able to manage deployments to Heroku via Pomander.

This should be a straightforward process as Heroku takes care of nearly everything for us. Pomander just really needs to run the key deploy tasks with empty commands so that before/after hooks can be triggered, and anything special can be taken care of.

Notes:

Example Capistrano task for deploying to Heroku:

namespace :deploy do
  desc 'Deploy the app'
  task :production do
    app = "my-amazing-heroku-app-name"
    remote = "[email protected]:#{app}.git"

    system "heroku maintenance:on --app #{app}"
    system "git push #{remote} master"
    system "heroku run rake db:migrate --app #{app}"
    system "heroku maintenance:off --app #{app}"
  end
end

Using a Composer plugin to trigger pom heroku

Just rely on heroku run: heroku run vendor/bin/pom heroku
