Once again I’m taking inspiration from Jonas Forsberg and Deploy to Heroku from Github. However, I just couln’t get the thing to work. So I backtracked to the orginal project github-heroku-pusher and everything now seems to be in working order. I think I will circle back around to his method eventually, but for now, while I build out the site I’m going to follow the don’t fix what isn’t broken mantra.

Now that I have github -> heroku publishing in place now is the time to setup even more over kill, heroku offers a few (2)5 MB Memcache Bucket. I made the following changes to config.ru if memcache_servers = ENV["MEMCACHE_SERVERS"] require 'dalli' require 'rack-cache' require 'memcachier' $cache = Dalli::Client.new use Rack::Cache, :verbose => true, :metastore => $cache, :entitystore => $cache end To test that caching is working use ab aka Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool and run ab -n 500 -c 5 [hostname]

After playing with jekyll on Git Hub’s pages, I realized I needed something with a bit more zest. I needed plug-in support. I found Jonas Forsberg post entitled Jekyll + Heroku + Unicorn = Blazing fast blogging and basically followed the step outlined below. sudo gem install heroku sudo gem install bundler heroku auth:login git clone git@github.com:himynameisjonas/jekyll-heroku-unicorn.git cd jekyll-heroku-unicorn bundle install heroku create git push heroku master That lead to a complete fail.
