    rails + heroku + postgress + devise
This is how I actually got all this stuff to work together. It'll attrophy over time but as of June 2013 it works. Maybe I'll keep it up to date.

On the shoulders...
Generally, this document is a a mashup of the following tutorials and pages...

Getting Started with Rails 3.x on Heroku
Rails Girls Guides -- Adding Authentication with Devise
Agile Web Development With Rails

Copy libssl & libcrypto to /usr/lib on your Mac
For me this boiled down to the following and I didn't do the symlink part.
sudo cp /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/lib
sudo cp /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/lib

first though, let's install some stuff we're going to need
brew install gnu-sed # this is because osx's sed is lame

DRY
Here we set up our project name, directory name and heroku project name ($PROJ.heroku.com). They don't all have to the same, but it is convenient.
export PROJ=mobgame

Create the project on your local machine
cd ~/Projects/bettracker/rails # you might choose differently
rails new $PROJ -d postgresql
cd $PROJ

Update .gitignore
cat <<EOF >>.gitignore
/public/assets/
.DS_Store
*~
/vendor/bundle
/.idea
EOF

Set up the git repo
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'rails new $PROJ -d postgresql && cd $PROJ && update .gitignore'

Create the local database
psql -c "create role $PROJ login createdb" # http://stackoverflow.com/a/8639649/9648
rake db:create

Download & install software
(cd tmp && wget http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap.zip) && unzip tmp/bootstrap.zip -d public && rm -f tmp/bootstrap.zip
git add . && git commit -m "install bootstrap"

verify
psql -c "\list" # look for $PROJ in left col. Ctc means user can Connect Create & create Temp
psql -c "\du" # shows users

Create the Venue scaffold
rails generate scaffold Venue title:string address:string image_url:string
rake db:migrate
git add . && git commit -m "rails generate scaffold Venue"

Redirect root to /venues
gsed -i '/welcome#index/a\  root :to => redirect("/venues")' config/routes.rb
git rm public/index.html
git add . && git commit -m "Redirect root to /venues"

Add gem 'devise' to Gemfile
cat <<EOF >> Gemfile
#Use devise for auth
gem 'devise'
EOF
bundle install
git add . && git commit -m "Add 'devise' to Gemfile && bundle install"

Install devise
rails generate devise:install
git add . && git commit -m "rails g devise:install"

You'll get the following output:
Some setup you must do manually if you haven't yet:


Ensure you have defined default url options in your environments files. In production, :host should be set to the actual host of your application. Here is an example of default_url_options appropriate for a development environment in config/environments/development.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }


Ensure you have defined root_url to something in your config/routes.rb. For example:
root :to => "home#index"


Ensure you have flash messages in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb. For example:
<p class="notice"><%= notice %></p>
<p class="alert"><%= alert %></p>


If you are deploying Rails 3.1+ on Heroku, you may want to set the following on config/application.rb forcing your application to not access the DB or load models when precompiling your assets:
config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false


You can copy Devise views (for customization) to your app by running:
rails g devise:views


Configure devise
Define default URL in our development & production environments.
gsed -i 's/^end$/  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "localhost:3000" }\nend/' config/environments/development.rb
gsed -i 's/^end$/  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "'$PROJ.herokuapp.com'" }\nend/' config/environments/production.rb
git add . && git commit -m "config.action_mailer.default_url_options"

Add notice and alert flashes to app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
gsed -i '/<%= yield %>/s~.*~<% if notice %>\n  <p class="alert alert-notice"><%= notice %></p>\n<% end %>\n<% if alert %>\n  <p class="alert alert-error"><%= alert %></p>\n<% end %>\n<%= yield %>~' app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
git add . && git commit -m "notice and alert flashes"

Don't access the DB or load models when precompiling assets:
gsed -i '/^  end$/i\    config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false' config/application.rb
git add . && git commit -m "config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false"

Set up the devise user model
rails g devise User
rake db:migrate
git add . && git commit -m "rails g devise User && rake db:migrate"
psql ${PROJ}_development -c "\dt" # show it


The Heroku part of the Tutorial, part 1
Create the heroku project
heroku create $PROJ

Deploy to heroku
git push heroku master

Start heroku (free tier)
heroku ps:scale web=1

sync the database on heroku
heroku run rake db:create
heroku run rake db:migrate
heroku run rake db:seed

test heroku admin
open http://$PROD.herokuapp.com


Commands to reset and start over
rake db:drop
psql -c "drop user $PROJ"
heroku destroy $PROJ #--confirm $PROJ # get rid of the 1st

misc commands
heroku logs # show me the logs
