Deploying the Web Scraper Rails app to Production & Setting Up Cron Jobs Discussion

I wish the linking of the database was a bit more clear. My app was pulling in the credential in the database.yml file instead of simply linking via the DATABASE_URL environment variable. I had to comment out the credentials and then add url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %> to get it working. Too me a while to get this figured out, but Hatchbox.io isn't as seamless as presented in this video—there are missing steps.

Great insights on deploying the web scraper and setting up cron jobs! I recently went through a similar process when working on a project that reminded me of my experience with crazy cattle 3d. It's amazing how streamlined deployment can enhance productivity.
