Is Figaro even usable without Heroku? From what I understand the commands it offers are tailor-made for Heroku, and the main problem mentioned (secrets.yml not being Heroku-friendly) seems like specifically a Heroku problem. IMO I'd use Figaro for Heroku, and YML files for a VPS.

Figaro is certainly usable without Heroku. It added some Heroku conveniences later in life, but is built to simply populate ENV while keeping source control clean.

Good to know. I suppose for all cases where I'm deploying to non-Heroku servers I'd probably still use secrets.yml just because it's built into 4.1.

Makes sense, now that it's the new convention. Thanks for the comment!
