Heroku is a PaaS(Platform as a Service) for running web apps that makes it as simple as a git push to deploy. They offer a free tier that is great for demos or quick testing environments and services such as redis, postgres, and many others.
There are a few minor changes from the default heroku gradle build pack to get your Grails 4 app run.
By default heroku will run the task stage to get your app ready. You could add a gradle task named stage or change the default task by running:
$ heroku config:set GRADLE_TASK="assemble"
The Procfile is used to tell heroku how to start your app, in this case, we need to pass the dynamically assigned port to our app, along with heroku's JAVA_OPTS. Lastly, tell it where gradle put our war/jar.
Procfile
web: java -Dserver.port=$PORT $JAVA_OPTS -jar build/libs/*.war If you'd like to run on OpenJDK 11 - create a system.properties file with the following:
system.properties
java.runtime.version=11 And thats it. Push to Heroku and your app will build and deploy in about a minute.
