Higher Order Heroku

Higher Order Heroku is a collection of articles outlining the latest tools and techniques of developing on Heroku.

Running locally

Higher Order Heroku uses Middleman, a Ruby-based static site generator, to render the site in development mode. Get Higher Order Heroku running locally with the following steps:

1. git clone git://github.com/pdsphil/higherorderheroku.com.git && cd higherorderheroku.com
2. bundle install
3. middleman
4. open http://localhost:4567

Deployment

Though it is a static site, Higher Order Heroku runs on Heroku and utilizes the multi-buildpack to chain the middleman buildpack and nginx buildpack. This allows site generation to occur when you do a git push heroku master and serves the content via the very fast nginx.

To deploy your own Higher Order Heroku:

1. git clone git://github.com/pdsphil/higherorderheroku.com.git && cd higherorderheroku.com
2. heroku create --buildpack git://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git
3. heroku config:set HOST=mysite.com
4. git push heroku master
5. heroku open
