This one allow you to use js instead of yaml for convox configuration:

> **[convox-assistant](https://www.npmjs.com/package/convox-assistant)**
>
> Assistant to convox deploy

The way to be used is that you use `convox-js2yaml` to generate yaml from js file prior to `convox build`.

Also there is `convox-deploy-and-migrate-rails` provided the package for rails application. It will build rails app, then migrate db before promoting the app.

The source code is on github and PR are welcome.
