First, prepare days app repository

$ days init
$ vim config.yml

group :production do
  gem "pg"
end
...

$ bundle install --without production
$ git init && git add . && git commit -m 'initial'

Then, create heroku apps and prepare heroku postgres database:

$ heroku apps:create
$ heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev && heroku pg:wait
$ heroku pg:promote `heroku config | grep HEROKU_POSTGRESQL|cut -d: -f 1`

Next, push repository to heroku.

$ git push -u heroku master

Finally, migrate the DB and restart the app.

$ heroku run days migrate production
$ heroku restart
