Heroku Release Phase script for managing Rails DB migrations, and playing nice with Review Apps and postdeploy scripts

Heroku Release Phase + Review Apps + Rails

This is a simplified, but fairly thorough, set of scripts and configuration to enable Heroku Release Phase for Rails apps. Further, this particular set up plays nicely with Heroku Review Apps in that the release phase script will:

  1. Fail, loudly, if the DB does not yet exist.
  2. Load the DB schema if the current schema version (as determined by bin/rails db:version) is 0.
  3. Run DB migrations otherwise.

For a "normal" app that usually means it will run the DB migrations.

Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
.mouse, #preview{
position: absolute;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 22px;
min-width: 15px;
z-index: 100;
}
.mouse{

Rails like Database Migrations in Clojure... Using clojure.contrib.sql
