Answer 1

I'm using Jammit on Heroku. Works Great. You can locally build your assets and check in to heroku. use

jammit --force

the current version 0.5.1 has issues working on heroku but you can install the fixed version from git://github.com/documentcloud/jammit.git

If you are using Rails 3, specify the below in your bundler Gemfile:

gem "jammit", :git => "git://github.com/documentcloud/jammit.git"

For Rails 2.*

config.gem "jammit", :source => "git://github.com/documentcloud/jammit.git"

Good Luck.
