A barebones Rails app, which can easily be deployed to Heroku.
This application supports the Getting Started on Heroku with Ruby article - check it out.
Make sure you have Ruby installed. Also, install the Heroku CLI (formerly known as the Heroku Toolbelt).
$ git clone git@github.com:heroku/ruby-getting-started.git
$ cd ruby-getting-started
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate
$ heroku localYour app should now be running on localhost:5000.
Using resources for this example app counts towards your usage. Delete your app and database as soon as you are done experimenting to control costs.
By default, apps use Eco dynos if you are subscribed to Eco. Otherwise, it defaults to Basic dynos. The Eco dynos plan is shared across all Eco dynos in your account and is recommended if you plan on deploying many small apps to Heroku. Learn more about our low-cost plans here.
