We rouse this Tumblr from hibernation mode for an important nerd announcement
I’ve been waiting for zero-downtime deployment from Heroku for over a year, ever since Splitwise started taking off.It’s seriously embarrassing to run a consumer app for tens of thousands of users, and to have that app grind to a halt for fifteen seconds every time you make an update (which is several times a day, usually).
Well guess what just quietly slipped through the back door at Heroku HQ? Mothaflippin’ zero-downtime deployment.
