Maximizing parity between development and production environments is a best practice for minimizing surprises at deployment time. The version of language VM you're using is no exception. One approach to this is to specify it using the same dependency management tool used to specify the versions of libraries your app uses. Clojure uses this technique with Leinigen, Scala with SBT, and Node.js with NPM. In each case, Heroku reads the dependency file during slug compile and uses the version of the language that you specify. Today, we're pleased to announce that we've added support for specifying a Ruby version to…

Heroku is fully behind Ruby 1.9.2 as the new gold standard for production Ruby apps. Over the past few months, we’ve seen more and more developers move to the Bamboo 1.9.2 stack. It’s fast, stable, and increasingly sees excellent support throughout the community. In February, we said that we’d be reviewing the state of 1.9.2 support with the eventual goal of switching the default for new Ruby apps on Heroku from 1.8.7 to 1.9.2. Today, we’re announcing the date of that switchover. As of June 1st, 2011, all new Ruby applications on Heroku will be run on Ruby 1.9.2 by…

At Heroku, we’ve been watching the progress of MRI very carefully for a while now; we added support for 1.9.1 nearly a year ago and 1.9.2 more recently, and we’ve seen thousands of apps created and running successfully on the 1.9 series of VMs. At the same time, we’ve seen the community as a whole recognize the importance of 1.9 by migrating libraries and gems to it and providing resources and tutorials on upgrading. Today, Heroku is putting our full support behind Ruby 1.9.2 as the future of MRI. It is a stable, battle-tested, production-quality Ruby, and we’re excited to…

Hi there, I’m the creator of a new RubyGem hosting site, Gemcutter. I also happen to be one of the newest hires at Heroku, but I promise, I decided the project was going to be hosted on Heroku long before starting to work here. Heroku’s been kind enough to pitch in getting the site deployed and ready for the whole Ruby community to enjoy. There’s nothing more fitting than for the next generation of RubyGem hosts to be supported by a truly next generation web application hosting platform. The project has the following goals: Provide a better API for dealing…
