This document provides tips and hacks for using the Heroku platform. It covers setting up a Heroku account, installing the Heroku toolbelt locally, deploying a Rails app to Heroku including adding gems and configuring the asset pipeline, using the Heroku command line interface to run commands and view logs, managing Git deployment to Heroku, and additional tips like configuring domains, upgrading databases, and improving performance with Unicorn.
![- Dùng cmd: $ heroku run bash
- View list current account: $ heroku accounts
6. Push local project to Heroku
- Git init in local project:
$ git init
- Add host to current git:
$ git remote add <origin> <git@heroku/app>
(git@heroku.com:bookmanageapp.git)
- Check remote exist or not? :
$ git remote -v
- Add and commit code
- Push code - Deploy code
$ git push [hostname] [branch] / $ git push origin/herokumaster
7. Cloning Existing Heroku Applications
$ heroku login
$ heroku git:clone -a <my_app>
$ cd my_app

![16. Improve performance with Unicorn (Concurrency)
-Add Gem:
gem ‘unicorn’
- Config:
Create a file configuration for Unicorn at config/unicorn.rb
- When using mongoid:
worker_processes Integer(ENV["WEB_CONCURRENCY"] || 3)
timeout 30
preload_app true
before_fork do |server, worker|
puts worker
end
after_fork do |server, worker|
puts worker
end
If using Mongoid, you don't need to manually reconnect as in the gist. Mongoid claims:
"When using Unicorn or Passenger, each time a child process is forked when using
app preloading or smart spawning, Mongoid will automatically reconnect to the
master database. If you are doing this in your application manually you may remove
your code." (http://mongoid.org/en/mongoid/docs/rails.html)
