I love Heroku; I host several sites there, including my main personal site (michaelhartl.com). I'm also friends with the founders, and we've talked on several occasions about getting Insoshi to run on Heroku. Unfortunately, some of the requirements for Insoshi---especially integrated, full-text search---are a bit too specific for Heroku's main use-case. Getting search to work would involve either dropping a big piece of functionality (i.e., just using "LIKE" database queries) or outsourcing search to a separate server (probably running Lucene/Solr). We'd also have to rewrite image upload to use a third-part asset server such as S3 due to Heroku's read-only filesystem.
As a result of these issues, I've reluctantly given up trying to get Insoshi to run on Heroku. But I use Heroku for everything I can, and so should you. :-) Michael On Wed, May 20, 2009 at 6:22 AM, Steven Yu <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey Dave, > > do you mind posting how u fix that problem on Heroku, I was planning > on messing around a bit with Heroku later and thought it might cause > trouble for me too. > > thanks, > -Steven > > On May 19, 9:07 pm, Dave <[email protected]> wrote: >> Sorry all.
