Git Workflow

We're using a modified version of this successful git branching model to handle our releases. Main development happens in the 'master' branch. Production deploys come from the 'production' branch.

When we want to do a new release, we split off a new branch from master called release-X.Y.Z.

• X is the major version number -- currently 0, bumping up to 1 when we exit this beta period.
• Y is the release number -- this increments by one for every new release.
• Z is the hotfix number, which I'll describe later.

We deploy this release branch to a staging environment, where it can be QA'd. Any bugs discovered during this period can be fixed directly in the release branch. Once we're clear to go to production, we merge the release branch into production with the --no-ff option (to create a merge commit) and tag that merge commit with the release number. If any commits were added to the release branch, we need to merg

Pubnub Signalling

Chui uses Pubnub for event Signaling, Listen on a channel that equals your device serial The event message includes a key and name (if identified) If the name is unavailable (ie person unknown), no name attribute will be in the dictionary

Use the following publish and subscribe keys: publish_key='pub-c-e7c43b97-8af8-4a3f-b9d4-fe5710f17e20' subscribe_key=’sub-c-b09806ee-e056-11e3-8f83-02ee2ddab7fe’

Passenger

• best for situations where you want to conserve memory when an app has low traffic
• good for hosting multiple applications on a single server
• for always-on dedicated app, this killing of workers can have negative side-effects: new workers need to be spun up on new requests (also after nginx restart)
• must install via compiled into nginx source (via Passenger)
