Technology

This app has two parts, the report generation on Heorku, and the report hosted on Amazon S3.

To get the app running locally you will need to:

1. The name of your S3 bucket for appointment times, and your AWS keys.
2. Modify PushStuffToTheCloud.saveToS3 to use your bucket, not mine.
3. Generate the report by running AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAFOO AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="yourKeyHere" bundle exec rake update_listing

There is a small sinatra app with sample data for modifying how reports should look. To get it running:

1. bundle install
2. ruby app.rb
3. Navigate your browser to localhost:4567

To deploy on Heroku, you will need to set up a scheduler to run the rake task. To avoid unnecessary billing, shut off the web process with heroku ps:scale web=0
