Heroku time out on deploy because of asset precompilation

Problem: my Rails app won't deploy on Heroku (Timed out compiling Ruby app (15 minutes)) because of assets precompilation.

I use gems (asset_sync, sprockets-image_compressor, image_optim) that cause slow asset precompilation. I also sync my assets to store them on S3. I had not have this issue before adding sprockets-image_compressor and image_optim gems

I could precompile assets locally but I would have to deal with my multiple environments (I have a staging app and a production app and I store my assets on different bucket on S3 regarding the environment) and I don't want to do that. And anyway that should be handled on deployment on Heroku.

I've also opened a ticket on Heroku asking them to increase the time out but I doubt they'll do that.

Any idea, suggestions?

I have this same issue, and also using image_optim gem. Basically the image precompilation process takes too long. So I modified Gemfile. Changed:

gem 'image_optim'

To:

gem 'image_optim', :group => [:development]

Now I can precompile remotely on Heroku :D. Oh, this solution works pretty good for me since I compress all images manually using image_optim -r * in the folder where images are. And then push all image optimizations to my repository. Cheers!
