Deployment

The Duke Chronicle website runs on Heroku. For this reason, parts of the code base are tailored to Heroku (we have a Procfile for example). We have modeled much of our architecture off of the 12 factor app.

To deploy to Heroku, we recommend you use our custom Heroku buildpack. This buildpack makes bower available during precompilation. If you use this buildpack, you will need to enable environment variables during precompile or else asset_sync will not work. You also have to set the appropriate environment variables on your app. A full list of environment variables used by the app can be found in the .env file.
