Heroku

Installation

• Windows 10 Laptop

Concepts

• all Heroku applications run in a collection of lightweight Linux containers called Dynos. To find out the dynos:

heroku ps

• Procfiles can contain additional process types. For example, you can declare a background worker that processes items off a queue.
• The set of dynos declared in your Procfile and managed by the dyno manager via heroku ps:scale are known as the dyno formation. These dynos do the app’s regular business (such as handling web requests and processing background jobs) as it runs. When you wish to do one-off administrative or maintenance tasks for the app, or execute some task periodically using Heroku Scheduler, you can spin up a one-off dyno.

Example

Official Tutorial

• from official python tutorial

PS C:\Temp\python-getting-started> heroku login

• clone example
• create app and push code
• start the app

PS C:\Temp\python-getting-started> heroku ps:scale web=1
Scaling dynos... done, now running web at 1:Free
PS C:\Temp\python-getting-started> heroku open
// opens https://arcane-peak-78109.herokuapp.com/

• open the dashboard
• stop it or scale it down to 0

heroku ps:scale web=0

• prepare for running locally

PS C:\Temp\python-getting-started> python -m venv venv
PS C:\Temp\python-getting-started> .\venv\Scripts\activate
(venv) PS C:\Temp\python-getting-started> pip install -r .\requirements.txt

• run it locally

(venv) PS C:\Temp\python-getting-started> python manage.py collectstatic
(venv) PS C:\Temp\python-getting-started> heroku local -f .\Procfile.windows

• open it http://localhost:5000/

Spring Boot

• from offical Spring Boot tutorial

cd C:\Uwes\eclipse\workspace_2020-12\SpringBoot
spring init --dependencies=web demo1 // create a spring app with Spring CLI
cd demo1

• edit C:\Uwes\eclipse\workspace_2020-12\SpringBoot\demo1\src\main\java\com\example\demo1

git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
heroku login
heroku create // creates an app and a Git remote (named heroku) associated with your local Git repository

• When deploying an app, Heroku reads pom.xml file and installs the dependencies by running mvn clean install.
• https://intense-caverns-96515.herokuapp.com/
• create C:\Uwes\eclipse\workspace_2020-12\SpringBoot\demo1\src\main\java\com\example\demo1\system.properties
• add java versioin

git add .
git push heroku master
heroku open // opens the application in a browser
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql // add a PostgrsSQL database
heroku config // shows connection URL
