It's not recommended as asset precompilation usually requires access to the environment (e.g a DB connection), and thus isn't deterministic.

No, you're still serving the same assets. It's only really an issue if your users like seeing where network requests are going and spot the cloudfront URL.

How's your bandwidth bill?

There is no vendor lock-in with any aspect of Heroku. https://www.heroku.com/policy/promise

You reckon you'll have time to remove the hard drive? ;)

Could you raise a ticket for this stuff? Login problems with Add-ons isn't a common thing and we'd like to investigate.

Just goes to show how much code quality contributes to a successful product.

So you were running on the starter databases? Slick.

I think they would prefer you pay

How's this different/better than S3?

AWS is an IaaS ??

Your eyes won't have to bleed whenever you look at it?

Sure - but that doesn't make him a Sir.

Sir Lewis? Eh?

This is based in the AWS EU datacenter in Ireland. However, as far as the law is concerned, we are not yet Safe Harbor compliant, but are actively working on it.

Too many people talking...

You program sober?

Not entirely sure about the annual Google Hangout party. A load of people getting drunk in front of their computer sounds like a fairly crappy way of having fun. Surely getting on a plane isn't out of the question is it?

Why not use Unicorn on Heroku?

That's up to the process you have running on the dyno

To clarify this point a little - I tend to find that once I know /what/ I'm writing and /how/ I'm writing it, it flows out with reckless abandon, and I'm able to get the words out very easily. Due to this, editing also comes quite easy as I find I've written the copy in a natural conversational way (as the article is written in).

However, I realise that this isn't normal, and may also be a big problem when not writing in a style that I can choose.

Not entirely sure what the last comment is talking about…

"Users would still be logged out on every deploy, but I believe this is a minor problem for most people."

Would be an absolute pain for users of things such as Github who deploy several times a day.

For gems I ended up building http://gemfinder.herokuapp.com purely so I could plug it into Alfred. 99 times out of 100 it ends up on a Github page for the gem in question.

I wouldn't be so sure. Working in GBP that bike would cost me £7K. Say I had it three years, I'm looking at it costing £2.3K a year. Given that with my current commuter bike (a BMW R1100RT) I already have an annual cost of £1250 in fuel alone. That's before considering all the other costs you get with owning a bike.

Add to this that this is considerably more comfortable, more weatherproof, and not a 10 year old like mine it seems a fair price.

I'd like to see how this behaves with the typical things that cause a bike to crash, for instance, the front end washing out on ice, or a locked front wheel, or loss of traction on an accelerating rear wheel.

Highsiding this could still happen I guess.

No problem.
