If you're on Heroku how do you deploy now? It says it's still weeks away before you can deploy - did I read this right?

Still weeks away from enabling the GitHub integration again, you can still manually deploy via the heroku CLI.

Our team realised heroku was going to take weeks and we’ve replicated our “review app” development workflow with GitHub actions that clone apps on PR, push code and rebuild them on push and destroy them on PR close. It’s not as seamless as the heroku GitHub integration but it’s good enough for now.

Woah… this would be an amazing thing to open source

You don't even need the "heroku cli" to deploy -- just git. That was heroku's original famous innovation, you may recall!

Same way we’ve done for years, via our CD (circle CI), which uses the Heroku CLI

We’ve been lucky that this entire event has, theoretically, not touched us as we never connected GitHub. That may change as more information comes to light.

We’re still strongly considering moving to AWS, and are in the process of getting quotes from vendors.

Are you thinking AWS, or a provider like Render, etc?

We're looking at a simple Lift & Shift to AWS. We're building our next product on AWS, so makes sense to move everything there, and the agency that we have doing the 24 hours monitoring runs a bunch of rails apps on their AWS stack so they've got everything in place to do it pretty simply.

You can deploy, you just can't trigger the builds automatically by pushing to Github. (This also means the Review Apps system is non-functional.)

Deploy using heroku CLI: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git#deploy-your-code

Unfortunately, git lfs isn't supported for CLI pushes, haven't found a way that works yet.

git push heroku master

Glad I didn’t even realize there was github integration!
