Assets Preload Buildpack

A simple buildpack to run two scripts with the $SOURCE_VERSION as the one parameter.

bin/get_assets $SOURCE_VERSION bin/extract_assets $SOURCE_VERSION

Rationale

Heroku runs rake assets:precompile as part of the rails buildpack. This is a long process and can be redundant if you are building assets elsewhere, such as during a build phase of your CI/CD pipeline.

How you might use this is have get_assets download a tarball from an S3 bucket and then have extract_assets extract that tarball.

Doing this can greatly decrease deploy times. This is language and platform agnostic. It was written for Rails, but you could load prebuilt assets for anything here.
