Dynamic Octopus configuration for master/slave horizontal DB scaling with a Rails application on the Heroku stack. See the wiki page for more info: https://github.com/tchandy/octopus/wiki/Replication-with-Rails-on-Heroku. Props to Heroku for the idea, gleaned from the dynamic database.yml they inject at build-time for rails apps.
