Initialize the project

Create and activate a virtualenv:

Create Servers

By default the included fabfile will setup three environments:

• qa -- For quality assurance testing
• prod -- For the live application

Create these servers on Heroku with:

fab init

Automated Deployment

Deployment is handled via Travis. When builds pass Travis will automatically deploy that branch to Heroku. Enable this with:

travis encrypt $(heroku auth:token) --add deploy.api_key
