First time on Heroku

saw my colleagues using that for a while.
this is the first time i start using it from scratch.
http://greenhk.heroku.com


Besides the performance gain by this cloud hosting thing, the most surprising thing is the powerful toolset it comes with.

1)
Deployment is just a line of command

git push heroku master

then it will push your code to the git reportsitory, handle all the migrations and restart the rails application.

2)
It's like connecting to an application running on your local machine

Troubleshoot on the remote production server and tail the log is just a line of

heroku logs --tail

then it will send back the next block of log incremental changes.



and ... it is free !!
to me, i don't need big database thingy, so i can apply the free plan and just enjoy the performance and simplicity it provides !!
