I ended up taking the time to implement a CI/CD environment that deploys to Heroku for free. My client only has to pay for his production Heroku dyno, the rest of the build pipeline is either free or, in the case of the staging environment, running on the free tier.

While I was about to start a new project this weekend, I decided to take a moment to document my process to help myself and you with future projects. I'll outline some of my favorite practices for deployment environments and why I follow them. In this article we'll be hosting the code for a Ruby on Rails application I'm building, for a personal project, at GitLab.com.
