• Make sure production assets compile correct (eg files in vendor, etc, compile and are not 404'ing in production environment)
• Make sure environment variables are setup correctly (need new Heroku, AWS)
• Outbound Mail Provider Setup and working in production (eg SendGrid, Mandrill)
• Run rake notes and check for any actionable items
