For a hack-session at my current employer we thought it would be fun to see how quickly/easily we could get a version of the KunstMaan CMS deployed on Heroku.

This was in part to evaluate the CMS, but also to familiarize people with Heroku. In order to reproduce the process, I settled for creating a bash script and updating it with each new step I went through.

How hard could it be, right? Turns out that things weren't as simple as one might think.

The CMS does try to make it as easy as possible to get up and running. It offers a clean setup that can be gotten by running the composer create-project command.

From there, a few steps are needed to be made to get things in order to run on Heroku:

    public function listen(string $name, callable $handler) : void

The problem

As a developer, I have a lot of small projects. Proof-of-concepts, simple tools, examples to help explain things.

In order to synchronize these across different computers, the projects directories all live in Dropbox.

Recently it occurred to me that this means all of the vendor code also lives in Dropbox.

Summary

To measure the amount of code, different metrics can be used. For now I'll use the infamous lines of code (to represent how people see the code) and tokens (to represent how the PHP parser sees the code).
