Question

EDIT

What small things which are too easy to overlook do I need to do before deploying a rails application?

I have set up another question for any task that takes more than a minute or two, and so ought to be scheduled into a deployment process. In this question I’m mostly concerned with on-line config options and similar, that can be done, but are often left out in during the development cycle because they don’t make any difference until deployment

Answer 1

• Freeze the gems you are using rake gems:unpack
• Change the secret in config/environment.rb
• Filter sensitive informtion like passwords: in app/controllers/application.rb filter_parameter_logging :password, :password_confirmation
