Ruby on Rails

I have used this route in the past to do this in an informal manner:

get '*', redirect_to: '/maintenance.html'

...and put that at or near the top of the routes file. Comment it out when you want to run normally.

The Gem approach will do a more thorough job, catching post and patch and everything.
