Today I stumbled in the new Octopress and decided to give it a try, it also seemed like a good opprtunity to try Heroku since there’s this handy guide. I know that I should have at least tried the Heroku service alredy, but free time is a rare commodity.
Octopress leaves the source code in my own hand and that is a wonderful feeling. I can also post or do whatever I want with my most beloved tools, and more important I don’t have to constantly see that .php extension from wordpress.
Yes, I had (and still have for a couple of weeks I think) a wordpress blog that I’ll port here; it’s not very rich, but I don’t want to loose those contents. I also hope to post more frequently since Octopress does look really nice.
I was keeping on aim Heroku for quite a time, but this is the first chance that I’ve had to give it a try. The first impression is good, I’d say it that I’d like it more than Dotcloud, but it’s just an impression without any actual reason.
The Dotcloud cli is a wrap around Fabric, while the Heroku cli is a gem, and it seems to have a less noisy approach. There’s also the Dyno system that seems to give Heroku more flexibility, but it should be said that over at Dotcloud they’ve started a new pricing system that might be interesting. Fortunatly (??) as of right now I’m only interested in free accounts so I didn’t dedicated too much attentions to those aspects.
Time to deploy my first post! See you soon.
