Maintenance mode on Heroku

[rkh]

There should be an option to have the Heroku app go into mainenance mode during deployment.

[whabib]

Being able to do this would be nice too:

heroku pgbackups:capture --expire

[roidrage]

Maybe we could allow arbitrary Heroku commands to be run? I've had a different request to e.g. run pg:reset for the staging database as part of the build.

[rkh]

Yes, this would mean installing the heroku toolbelt, though, especially since all the pg:* comands use a private API.

👍 but also http://xseignard.github.io/2013/02/18/continuous-deployement-with-github-travis-and-heroku-for-node.js/ worked (to get heroku toolbelt access on travis) for me.

👍 Ping on that.

This issue is still IMO relevant (unless I've missed an obvious way to do it as of now...). For future reference, I've gathered the steps I ended up doing to make it happen in this gist.
Cheers.
