[Meta] DevOps considerations.

• Tech stack is Laravel

• Hosting the app
  Does verite have existing infrastructure that we are using or are we going to select a host?

  • heroku

• DNS provider
  Pick a site name, set up DNS

@serundeputy What do you think of heroku?

[serundeputy]

@pdw207 never tried it, but as long as i can provide build steps like compile sass should be fine.

are their prices within budget? For laravel I've always used Platform.sh, but maybe too pricey for this project?

[serundeputy]

@pdw207 I've added a heroku app verite-survey (http://verite-survey.herokuapp.com/), but to add a DB service we have to pay:

geoff@yep verite (master) $ heroku addons:create cleardb:ignite
Creating cleardb:ignite on ⬢ verite-survey... !
 ▸    Please verify your account to install this add-on plan (please enter a credit card) For more information, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/categories/billing Verify now at https://heroku.com/verify

I guess we should ask the client to pay that cost. I have no idea what the pricing structure is for Heroku.

I'm pretty sure the postgres or mariadb options from heroku are free.

This one cleardb:ignite is free; but will not proceed without CC.

[jrabbit]

Could you try https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql?

[serundeputy]

@jrabbit that did work, but not mysql

[pdw207]

@serundeputy Can you add me as a collaborator to the heroku site? My email is paul@vermonster.com

[serundeputy]

@pdw207 I've added you as a collaborator. 🚀

[pdw207]

@serundeputy Only the owner can add a CC. Can you make me an owner?

[serundeputy]

@pdw207 i've initiated an xfer to you; you should receive an email.
