# Deploying a Sinatra app to Heroku

## Database
The location of the database Heroku provides can be found in the environment
variable DATABASE_URL. Check the configure-block of toodeloo.rb for an example
on how to use this.

## Server
Heroku is serving your apps with thin, with means you have all your thin goodness available,
such as EventMachine.

## Rackup file
Heroku can serve all Rack applications. It looks for a rackup file named
'config.ru' in the root directory. Thus serving a Sinatra app is simple:

    require 'toodeloo'
    run Sinatra::Application

## Create app and deploy
The whole process of deploying this small Sinatra app was as follows:

$ git clone git://gist.github.com/68277.git toodeloo
$ cd toodeloo
$ .. unpack gems and add to git repo ..
$ heroku create toodeloo
$ git remote add heroku git@heroku.com:toodeloo.git
$ git push heroku master

That's it. You can see it in action at http://toodeloo.heroku.com
