:free: :construction_worker: example of how to use heroku cedar stack to run a free application with web, worker and clock processes

an example project of how to run rails/resque/clockwork for free on heroku.

read the article: http://blog.nofail.de/2011/07/heroku-cedar-background-jobs-for-free/

see the app: https://freemium-web.herokuapp.com

resque-web is mounted here: https://freemium-web.herokuapp.com/resque/overview

setup:

heroku apps:create freemium-web --stack cedar --remote heroku
git push heroku master

heroku apps:create freemium-worker --stack cedar --remote worker
git push worker master

heroku apps:create freemium-clock --stack cedar --remote clock
git push clock master

heroku scale web=1 --app=freemium-web
heroku scale web=0 worker=1 --app=freemium-worker
heroku scale web=0 clock=1 --app=freemium-clock

heroku addons:add redistogo:nano --app=freemium-web

heroku config:add `heroku config -s --app=freemium-web|grep redis` --app=freemium-worker
heroku config:add `heroku config -s --app=freemium-web|grep redis` --app=freemium-clock

freemium's Issues

Nice Work need some clarification

heroku apps:create freemium-web --stack cedar --remote heroku
git push heroku master

heroku apps:create freemium-worker --stack cedar --remote worker
git push worker master

heroku apps:create freemium-clock --stack cedar --remote clock
git push clock master

after creating apps, how can you push to heroku master if there is not even freemium-worker reemium-clock reemium-web folders and there is no git repository. Do you create separate sinatra or rails apps and then do above instructions?

Do you add redistogo for all three apps. How about workers, all of them should have it?

Thanks in advance
