Serving Rails Static Assets on Heroku using a CDN with gzip and cache control

Optimizing Rails Static Assets on Heroku Cedar

Serving Rails static assets is hard, especially on Heroku Cedar where Heroku forces Rails to serve static assets itself (which isn't particularly performant nor worth your dyno-dollar)---this is different than Heroku Bamboo which used Varnish and is no more. To make the best of the situation, I highly recomend:

  1. Using the Heroku-Deflater gem which will selectively gzips assets (it gzips text-based files; and excludes images or binary files, which can actually be bigger when gzipped)

  2. Configure your production environment to set cache-control headers and get out of denial about how static assets are being served on Heroku Cedar

  3. Use AWS Cloudfront (or a CDN of your choosing) to serve the assets. Cloudfront is great because you can use the same Distribution
