Build in Progress is built on Ruby on Rails and was hosted on Heroku. This documentation will outline how to get a version of Build in Progress up and running locally and parameters to set up the web application on Heroku.

Build in Progress relies on the following libraries and resources:

• Devise - for user authentication
• Redis - for background tasks
• Sidekiq - for background tasks
• FFMPEG - for video and image processing
• AWS S3 - for storing assets
• Google Omniauth - for enabling Google Login
• Sunspot Solr - for search

If you are interested in creating your own instance of Build in Progress, please follow the instructions described in Running Locally first. If you would like to host the app on Heroku, you can find instructions for how to do so on Deploying on Heroku
