This is an example application that shows you how to use AWS S3 and CloudFront to optimize serving static assets.

Heroku Setup

• clone or fork the repository.
• log in to your aws s3 console.
• create a new s3 bucket
• log in to your aws cloudfront console
• create a new download distribution and use your s3 bucket as the origin server.
• create a copy of the file .env.example called .env and add your AWS security credentials, bucket name and cloudfront domain.
• create a copy of database.yml.example called database.yml.
• create a copy of config/heroku_setup.sh.example called config/heroku_setup.sh and insert your settings.
• rake assets:precompile
• heroku create
• git push heroku master
• heroku run rake db:migrate
• heroku run rake db:seed
• bash script/heroku_setup.sh
• heroku open

** Never check your AWS security credentials in to a public repository **
