The Ruby on Rails Tutorial book uses the latest version of Rails, which is the current release candidate of Rails 3.0.0.rc. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, you can't deploy applications to Heroku using the Rails release candidate because of a conflict with the latest version of Bundler. See this blog post for a possible workaround.

Of course, we can't forget that Heroku currently runs the largest and most mature SQL -database-as-a-service in the world: our PostgreSQL service, packaged with every Heroku app. We're continuing to expand and improve this …

At the time of this writing Rails 2.3.8 wasn't the default on Heroku, but fortunately they support a different stack with Rails 2.3.8. To switch I just had to do the following: $ heroku stack:migrate bamboo-ree-1.8.7

We're sad to say goodbye to our good friend and current operations manager Mark Imbriaco, but we know that he'll continue to kick ass in his new position at Heroku. Mark has been with us for almost four years and seen our infrastructure grow from a handful of servers to I've-lost-count.
This means that we're looking for a new operations manager to join our band. The operations team already consists of Joshua Sierles and John Williams and this new person will be working …

For previous projects I never used Heroku, sometimes because I needed tools not available on the platform, other times because I had other options that were more interesting, price-wise.
My last side-project sounded like a perfect fit to trial Heroku though. My conclusion as you may have guessed is that Heroku is really addictive and sweet to use, I encourage you to give it a try.
Disclaimer: this is not a sponsored post for Heroku or MongoHQ - I'm just really happy with my current experience.

I've taken the plunge and moved my site over to Heroku ruby cloud host. My initial impressions of the service are great so I thought I'd post up my experience so far.
I've opted for the basic free setup to see how it goes. It's difficult to compare what you get to other hosts because Heroku is so different. Everything is hosted in the cloud on Amazon EC2, you create a 'compiled slug' which is a read only version of your app and that's hosted on the 'Dyno Grid' .

…Isolate on Heroku. There's no built-in support for Isolate in Heroku's current deployment tools (hey, a guy can dream), but it's pretty easy to hack together using Heroku's support for a .gems manifest file.
Assumptions
You're using some sort of rake release task for deployment. See "Alternatives" at the end of this post for, uh, an alternative.
You're using Isolate with its :system option set to true . If you're using Isolate…
