Large Heroku Needle Size

I have a Rails 3.1 application that I am currently hosting on Heroku. My problem is that my mucus size is a staggering 58.9 MB. How would you advise me to determine why this slug is so large and which gems / files are the largest source of this?

The Slug Compilation article provides some interesting information about debugging your bullet size.

To reduce the size of the bullet, you can:

  • use the .slugignore file to ignore test data, sources, or design files.
  • make sure to set the BUNDLE_WITHOUT variable to ignore all package groups except the current environment. This is the standard configuration for new applications, but if you created your application a few months ago, this variable does not exist, and you combine all the gems for all environments in each deployment.

You can try using the released gems instead of directly linking to git repositories using the git => option.
