Hi, everyone!
I hope to see you tonight (or any Thursday) between 6 and 8 PM!
I haven't written in a couple of weeks. Here's what we've been learning:

Foreman The Foreman gem is a little different from most of the gems you use. Foreman was created for use with Heroku applications but can in fact be used in other environments (including your dev environment). In a nutshell, Foreman allows you to pass a set of instructions to Heroku telling it how to run your processes (web server, background worker, etc...). The set of instructions is written in a Procfile
. Heroku details how to write your Procfile
depending on the web server you're using. You can always test out your Procfile
locally by installing Foreman using gem install
(not your Gemfile
), creating a Procfile
, and then running foreman start
on your command line.
