I am looking at the various heroku addons which may be useful for this site. I think the following would be worth looking at since we are shooting for a "Best Practices" app:

Loggly (Free):

I think all "Best Practices" apps should have some sort of centralised logging system. In our case it would also help to put our logs onto a 3rd party service that everyone can access so we can see production logs without heroku access

NewRelic (Free):

Does anyone NOT use newrelic in their apps?

I am not sure how much we can spend on this but having the Airbrake addon ($2) would also be good so that we can track exceptions. For example if the member scheduled member import script I wrote fails for some reason.
