4. Add puma to your Gemfile:

   gem 'puma'

5. Create a new Procfile for you application:

   web: bundle exec puma -p $PORT -e $RACK_ENV -t 0:5

6. Tell Dashing-rails how to you the Heroku's redis connection by setting redis credentials in config/initializers/dashing.rb:

   config.redis_host = URI.parse(ENV["REDISTOGO_URL"]).host config.redis_port = URI.parse(ENV["REDISTOGO_URL"]).port config.redis_password = URI.parse(ENV["REDISTOGO_URL"]).password

7. Commit and Push to heroku:

   git commit -m "configure dashing to work on heroku" git push heroku master

8. That's it! Visit http://your_app.herokuapp.com/dashing/dashboards

You can checkout the following application on Github running on Heroku
