In my previous post I discussed why you might want to deploy to Heroku as part of a CI build. I demonstrated how my heroku-headless gem makes it very easy to script such a deployment. In this post I’ll go into the details on how that gem does its work. I’ll talk about what the Heroku deployment tooling expects to be available, why that’s not necessarily going to be there in the context of a CI build environment, and how the gem helps resolve that.
