Excerpt from the Port Huron Statement:

How shall the "public sector" be made public, and not the arena of a ruling bureaucracy of "public servants"? By steadfast opposition to bureaucratic coagulation, and to definitions of human needs according to problems easiest for computers to solve. Second, the bureaucratic pileups must be at least minimized by local, regional, and national economic planning -- responding to the interconnection of public problems by comprehensive programs of solution. Third, and most important, by experiments in decentralization, based on the vision of man as master of his machines and his society. The personal capacity to cope with life has been reduced everywhere by the introduction of technology that only minorities of men (barely) understand.

Optimizing Rails Static Assets on Heroku Cedar

Serving Rails static assets is hard, especially on Heroku Cedar where Heroku forces Rails to serve static assets itself (which isn't particularly performant nor worth your dyno-dollar)---this is different than Heroku Bamboo which used Varnish and is no more. To make the best of the situation, I highly recomend:

1. Using the Heroku-Deflater gem which will selectively gzips assets (it gzips text-based files; and excludes images or binary files, which can actually be bigger when gzipped)

2. Configure your production environment to set cache-control headers and get out of denial about how static assets are being served on Heroku Cedar

3. Use AWS Cloudfront (or a CDN of your choosing) to serve the assets. Cloudfront is great because you can use the same Distribution
