Automatically detect and enable services when deploying applications
Description
Auto DevOps could be tuned to automatically provide different services. The next step is to allow auto detection of services reading project files (like Gemfile) and getting dependencies. We can, for example, consider that if there is the pg
gem a PostgreSQL database should be provided by default. Lastly, some Heroku buildpacks do this automatically, and we could listen to the output of the release
phase of buildpacks and automatically map any services requested to our own versions.
Proposal
Automatically detect and enable services that are needed by the application, by defining the related variables (see &127).
This should be done for the major languages (Ruby, Java, JavaScript, Go, etc).
