Heroku tools for newbie Rails developers

Logentries | https://addons.heroku.com/logentries
One of the best log management solutions out there. For the free package, you have one month of logging archive and 1GB index service. The addon will also email you everytime you app hits critical problems.

Heroku toolbelt | https://toolbelt.heroku.com/
Included: Heroku client - CLI tool for creating and managing Heroku apps, Foreman - an easy option for running your apps locally, and Git - revision control and pushing to Heroku. One of my favorite commands is: heroku logs --tail (real time log for debugging)

PGBackups | https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/pgbackups
Keeping a capture of your database will always do you good. Hit: heroku pgbackups:capture everytime you want to experiment with the models.
