Our good friends at Shopify recently released a developer platform which makes it crazy easy to build custom functionality into an e-commerce store using a standalone Rails app. There are already some great apps available in their app store , many of which are running on Heroku.
Check out the excellent getting started video by James MacAulay. It shows just how slick the Shopify API is – these guys are really taking e-commerce to the next level. (And bonus points for use of config vars to store API keys!)

Since we returned from a fun and successful Railsconf in Vegas, we have been in full swing completing the rollout of our paid services. The response has been enormous so far, and paid services are now available to all users.
If you’ve checked out the pricing page , you’ve undoubtedly noticed our line-up of a la carte add-ons . We’re really excited about add-ons becoming a key part of our platform, allowing us to seamlessly deliver popular application services and components with the built-in scalability and ease of use you’ve come to expect from Heroku.
We’ve had…

It’s been a bit of a blur here at Heroku HQ in the past couple of weeks. However, amidst all the launch activity we did notice a screencast so sweet we thought we’d share it with you. It really covers the whole platform exceptionally well, and we particularly dig how it manages to show off both Rails and Rack app deployment.
Big ups to Remi for putting this together, and way to shame us for not getting any official screencasts together for the new and improved Heroku. 🙂

When Adam, Orion, and I started Heroku two years ago, we had no idea how much new technology we would have to build to realize our vision of an instant platform for Ruby that just works .
Luckily, we were able to attract an amazing team to work on this problem with us, and the team has really shaped Heroku into the offering it is today. We’re currently by far the fastest and easiest deployment platform for Ruby, and we’ve gotten great feedback on our provisionless hosting architecture .
We have over 25,000 apps running on…

Say you’re working on a [Rails app](https://www.heroku.com/ruby), and you want to publish your code on Github. Most apps have some deploy-specific private config values – for example, if you’re using the S3 storage back-end for Paperclip , and your S3 keys are saved in config/amazon_keys.yml. You certainly don’t want to push those up to Github – what to do?
You could maintain a separate deploy branch, and commit your deploy config only to that. You can then work on the main branch, and rebase the deploy branch whenever you go for a deploy. That’s…
