I've added an extra step to explicitly add the production.rb file.
Added S3 CDN instructions with asset sync gem. Users assets will auto sync with S3 on deploy, using Gziped files where available. This should significantly help with Heroku stability under load.
Added add-on instructions for some load testing services available through Heroku. Hopefully help us hack on performance and stability issues.
Some general houskeeping, fixed h1 h2 muddle and removed bundle exec from foreman commands, as it uses bundler by default, and added some commands for running tests.
The original instructions told the user to log into Discourse Admin settings in order to set the force_hostname parameter so that the email validation URLs would be correct. However, it is not possible to log in until email is validated. This commit adds instructions for setting force_hostname through the console.
This was the proposed change to add an optional step for including and configuring the Autoscaler Gem in the HEROKU.md doc. I've included a pastable version of the Sidekiq initializer file that only adds the autoscaler middleware in production.
