Ruby on Rail and Heroku

How cool is Heroku !


Recently I was playing around with Ruby on Rails and learned about various hosting platforms which can be used to deploy an ROR application. After looking at a few out there, they were just consuming too much time in setting up public keys, copying the configurations, or managing other aspects like Capistrano etc. But when I signed up for heroku the deployment was as simple as “git push heroku master” and I was done.

Heroku is be an example of how the services should work seamlessly without having to worry about the network and cloud. That provides a clear benefit in using a hosting platform as supposed to hosting it yourself.
