As Dean Winchester mentioned it, it is a good idea to use a CDN for your static assets. In fact when using only Heroku your Rails application would have to be responsible to serve static assets since Heroku Cedar architecture will not do that for you.

Setting config.serve_static_assets = true is the way to go if you don't want to configure a CDN and use only Heroku.
