Rails Quickstart Template

This template configures a Rails 5 app for production level readiness on Heroku. It's highly opinionated about the technologies used. If you build SPA's, this is not for you. This is for those who build The Rails Way.

  • Ruby 2.3.3
  • Bundler
  • Git
  • Redis
  • Memcached
  • Heroku account with Memcache, Redis, and Sendgrid addons
  • RailsPanel
  • Mailcatcher
  • Graphviz

Other nifty features

  • Generates a pages controller with an index mapped to root_url.
