Heroku now supports Rails 3 beta 4 with Ruby 1.8.7. As Rails 3 matures and gets closer to production a number of pieces continue to change. The beta 4 update introduced two significant changes to be aware of: Require Ruby 1.8.7 > p249 or Ruby 1.9.2. Require Bundler 0.9.26. Heroku has updated to Ruby REE 1.8.7-2010.02 which incorporates the necessary patches for Rails 3. We will add support for 1.9.2 when the community releases the official release. In the meantime, developers interested in using Rails 3 on Heroku must use Ruby 1.8.7. We have also updated to the latest stable…

Through a direct relationship with Twitter, Apigee can offer users of the Add-on vastly increased rate limits automatically. The goal is to ensure that no valid application hits rate limits at all. If you’re developing applications using the Twitter REST api, check out the add-on today. Using it is often as simple as changing your app to use the apigee provided config var endpoint instead of “api.twitter.com”. Full docs are available here, and as always…

This past Sunday, Rails 2.3.6 was released, and quickly followed by 2.3.7 and 2.3.8. One of the major changes in these new versions is to require a newer version of Rack, specifically 1.1.0, that is incompatible with Rails 2.3.5 and older. Due to the fairly complex ways in which Rubygems resolves dependencies, this can prevent your app from starting – in your local environment as well as when deployed on Heroku. If you’ve been affected by this issue, you would see this error message: Missing the Rails gem. Please `gem install -v= x.x.x`, update your RAILS_GEM_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb for…

We can’t be happier to announce that we recently closed a $10 million Series B round of investment led by Ignition Partners. We’re planning to use the money to further expand our platform, turbo-charge partner programs for add-on providers and consultancies, and accelerate our go-to-market programs. The growth and excitement that we’ve seen at Heroku, particularly in 2010, has been incredibly energizing for all of us. We talk a lot about numbers – the 60,000-plus apps running on our platform gets quoted a lot recently – but even more motivating are the creative forces that the platform is unleashing. Developers…

Let’s cut straight to the chase: MongoHQ is launching their add-on to all Heroku users as a public beta. The details Over the last six months we have seen persistent demand for MongoDB support on Heroku, so we are incredibly excited that MongoHQ is releasing their highly anticipated add-on into public beta today. The add-on interfaces seamlessly with their successful hosted service, and allows developers to use MongoDB as a first-class-citizen data store in any of their Heroku apps.

The response to yesterday’s Node.js announcement continues to be absolutely amazing. First and foremost, we’re thrilled to see the community share our excitement about Node.js and its potential on the Heroku platform. We do, however, also want to be mindful that we’re still in the experimental phase with this technology here. For this reason, we’re going to proceed carefully and invite testers in small batches. So, if you don’t hear from us right away, despair not. It’ll likely take us a few weeks to get through the current list, and if you’re reading this for the first time, please don’t…
