bookers tips 1 : Who gains the most from "bookers"

Our web reservation system “bookers” is suitable for the schools below.

 

(1)  Non-fixed-schedule lesson provider
 

If you are providing non-fixed-schedule lesson, our solution fits very well.

You can define a private lesson when a teacher is available, student can book anytime when she/he wants in the web page. In other words, “bookers” matches a lesson supply and student’s sudden demand easily.

(2)  Schools that are managed by non-Japanese

If your school needs English interface, our “bookers” is the best choice.

“bookers” is bilingual service (English and Japanese, Dec 2012). We don’t charge any additional cost.

Some web service venders can provide bilingual service, but they may charge extra fee. Or they cannot provide daily support in English.

(3)  Schools that don’t have a reservation clerk

Maybe you are a startup school and you need to work as a teacher, clerk and accountant at the same time. If you cannot pick a phone from your student, you lost chance, time and confidence.

“bookers” helps your hard time. Even you cannot speak fluent Japanese, “bookers” will make reservations and handle cancellation instead of you.

【heroku】DB(Postgres)をアップグレードする

herokuのPostgresは必要な状況に応じ、Dev(Free)から、Mecha($6,400/月)までプランが選択できます。
その中で、Dev、Basic($9/月)の両プランは、Starterカテゴリ(tier)になっていて、
Crane($50/月)〜Mechaは、Productionカテゴリ(tier)となっています。














これらのプランの中から、開発中はDevを使用しパフォーマンステストの為に、
大量のデータを投入する必要があるから、Basicへアップグレード、
本番環境を構築するから、Craneなどへアップグレードなど、アップグレードの必要が生じることがあるとおもいます。
今回は、herokuのPostgresのプランアップグレードと、データ移行する方法を書いてみます。
(今回は例としてDevからBasic(Starter同士)へのアップグレードを行います。）

準備
１　PG Backupsアドオンの追加
    管理コンソールで追加するか、コマンドだと

$ heroku addons:add pgbackups

    で、PG Backupsを追加しておく。

２　追加したPG Backupsを使用し、現在のデータのバックアップを取得する。

$ heroku pgbackups:capture

手順
１　アップグレードするアドオンを追加する。

$ heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:basic

アドオンを追加すると、以下のようなメッセージが表示されるので、この中の
　　HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_PINKの部分を控えておく

Adding heroku-postgresql:basic on sushi... done, v122 ($9/mo)
Attached as HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_PINK_URL
Database has been created and is available
Use `heroku addons:docs heroku-postgresql:basic` to view documentation.

２　PG Backupsで取得したバックアップを、新しいDBへリストアする。

$ heroku pgbackups:restore HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_PINK

この時、本当にいいの？と聞かれるので、hoge.herokuapp.comのhogeの部分を入力する

３　旧DBから新DBへアプリの向き先を変更する

$ heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_PINK

４　向き先変更の確認をする。

$ heroku pg:info

上のコマンドを打つと、Dev,Basic両方のDB情報が表示されるが、新しいDB（この場合だとHEROKU_POSTGRESQL_PINK）に、"DATABASE_URL"の表示があればOK

５　旧DBを削除

$ heroku addons:remove HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_ORANGE

以上、でアップグレードとデータ移行は完了です。
