Development

Prerequisites

• PostgreSQL: brew install postgresql
• Redis: brew install redis

Required Configuration

Configuration items are stored in environment variables.

• SLACK_SUBDOMAIN: e.g., tech404 for tech404.slack.com
• SLACK_TOKEN: an API token for an administrator of the organization
• SIDEKIQ_USERNAME: username for the sidekiq administration area
• SIDEKIQ_PASSWORD: password for the sidekiq administration area

Deployment

Deployed on Heroku. Ask @alindeman for access. In production, we run a puma process in the same dyno as a sidekiq worker. It's a hack to keep it free.
