The long way round…

I’ve found Heroku!

Heroku allows me to build and deploy Rails applications. It couldn’t have happened at a better time for me because my current provider doesn’t give me what I need re. Ruby and Rails. So I took the following steps:

1) Registered with Heroku
2) When I got my sign-up email, I zipped up my Rails app (removing the .svn directories, tmp and log folders)
3) Uploaded to Heroku
4) Then run it

The application is a re-write of http://www.clevegibbon.com and can be found here http://clevegibbon.heroku.com. I’ll evolve it there.

Heroku is novel. Stunningly simple. Very expressive.

Sweet!
