I am runnning rails 3.1 on my heroku server (but with the bamboo stack).
Since 3.1, I had to add a javascript compiler for uglifier. So I’m using therubyracer-heroku for now.
The reason I’m wondering is that I’m always precompiling my assets, and even pushing them to Amazon S3. So why should I still need a compiler on the host ?
I’m asking because therubyracer is a heavy gem, and so a lot of requests are failing because of memory issues.
A bit late on the answer, but you actually do not need a javascript runtime on the production server, and you should not.
You should turn of compiling on the server with : config.assets.compile = false
And precompile all the assets before deploying.
