Heroploy

A few helpful rake tasks to manage deploying Rails apps to development, staging and production Heroku servers.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'heroploy'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install heroploy

Usage

Add a heroploy.yml file to your application's config directory which describes the Heroku apps you will deploy to, and the checks you would like when deploying to each.

For example:

environments:
  development:
    heroku: my-development-app

  staging:
    heroku: my-staging-app
    checks:
      pushed: true
      branch: master

  production:
    heroku: my-production-app
    tag: 'RELEASE_%Y%m%dT%H%M%S%z'
    checks:
      pushed: true
      branch: master
      staged: true

This file:

• Describes development, staging and production deployment rules for three Heroku apps (named my-development-app, my-staging-app and my-production-app on Heroku).
• Allows any branch to be pushed directly to development.
• Only allows master to be pushed to staging, and requires all changes to have first been pushed to origin.
• Only allows deployment to production if the changes have first been staged on staging.

To deploy to one of these environments, run rake heroploy:<environment>:deploy. For example:

rake heroploy:production:deploy
