Heroku Hub-And-Spoke Buildpack

A strategy for deploying monorepo one-app-per-audience Rails applications on Heroku.

Sample Application: https://github.com/nonrational/unibus

Usage

1. Create some spoke rails applications and at least one hub engine for them all

• See https://github.com/nonrational/unibus for an example layout

2. Create one Heroku application for every spoke app.

• You'll probabaly end up with a pair per rails app e.g. app-X-staging/app-X-production
• You can even use pipelines. Go nuts.
• You cannot use review apps. 😢

3. For each app, set:

   APP_BASE=<spoke-app-name>
   APP_DEPS=<engine-one> <engine-two>
   ENGINE_PATH=./.engines
   

4. Add this buildpack before the Ruby buildpack.

   heroku buildpacks:add -r <heroku-remote> --index 1 https://github.com/nonrational/heroku-buildpack-hub-spoke
   

5. . And often.
