updatedate

I'd like to show in our app when the latest production deploy was made, as a means of showing an ongoing commitment to improvement, etc, etc.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking of getting a last_updated_at from one of the files, but I'd like to hear other thoughts.

What's the best way to get the date of the latest production deploy dynamically?

Thanks,

Josh
