Heroku Checklist
Raw
heroku-checklist.md
  • Buy a domain and map a CNAME to your Heroku app. Use www.example.com, not example.com
  • Register to Uptime Robot and set up a monitor on your website (keeps dyno alive!)
  • Use Unicorn as the Webserver
  • Add the Heroku add-on PG Backups with automatic backups and monthly retention
  • Install NewRelic (provision the add-on and skip to the Ruby section)
  • Add SPF and DKIM records to your Mandrill account if you send email with @yourdomain.com
  • If your website uses Devise, buy a SSL certificate and set it up to get a https:// URL. Otherwise passwords are in clear during the communication between the browser and Heroku.
