That's really cool, thanks for posting. What's it using to serve the pages though, it looks like the django test server? Btw, not a ror dev (at all) but what does that typically use as a web server and how is heroku doing it? (not apache?)

This is running via runserver, right? Don't use this for production.

There are some nice pure-Python web servers though. To someone who knows more about Heroku's stack, if I replace “manage.py runserver” with, say, CherryPy, would there be any Heroku-specific performance issues to consider?

(I would use gunicorn)

Just a quick heads up, I made a Flask template with Gevent to get up and running on Heroku: https://github.com/zachwill/flask_heroku

Good plan. From the Django documentation:

"DO NOT USE THIS SERVER IN A PRODUCTION SETTING."

(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/django-admin/#runs... )

We made a nice recipe for production-ready Djanogo setup on Heroku http://www.askthepony.com/blog/2011/07/getting-django-on-her...

I have done this with Twisted and have yet to see any problems.

In your requirements.txt, add "Twisted". In your procfile, try something like:

    web: bin/python ./twistd -n web --port=$PORT --wsgi fully.qualified.app.name
