benoror / Heroku Release Phase script for managing Rails DB migrations, and playing nice with Review Apps and postdeploy scripts

Heroku Release Phase + Review Apps + Rails

This is a simplified, but fairly thorough, set of scripts and configuration to enable Heroku Release Phase for Rails apps. Further, this particular set up plays nicely with Heroku Review Apps in that the release phase script will:

  1. Fail, loudly, if the DB does not yet exist.
  2. Load the DB schema if the current schema version (as determined by bin/rails db:version) is 0.
  3. Run DB migrations otherwise.

For a "normal" app that usually means it will run the DB migrations.

Tech Spec: Cumulus Alpha 0.1


As explained in the original purpose doc, Cumulus aims to provide a centralized way for sharing health records in a way that a diversity of systems (a.k.a. consumers) can pull & push patient data in an organized way, thus keeping the health records updated and relevant throughout different healthcare providers and the patient itself.

TL;DR; Digital health information should follow the patient throughout modern healthcare providers, and not the other way around
