§Deploying to Heroku

Heroku is a cloud application platform – a way of building and deploying web apps.

To get started:

There are two methods of deployment to Heroku:

Pushing to a remote Git repository.
Using the sbt-heroku plugin.

§Deploying to a remote Git repository

§Store your application in git

$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "init"

§Create a new application on Heroku

$ heroku create
Creating warm-frost-1289... done, stack is cedar-14
http://warm-frost-1289.herokuapp.com/ | [email protected]:warm-frost-1289.git
Git remote heroku added

This provisions a new application with an HTTP (and HTTPS) endpoint and Git endpoint for your application. The Git endpoint is set as a new remote named heroku in your Git repository’s configuration.

§Deploy your application

To deploy your application on Heroku, use Git to push it into the heroku remote repository:

$ git push heroku master

remote:
remote: Verifying deploy... done.
To https://git.heroku.com/warm-frost-1289.git
* [new branch]      master -> master

Heroku will run sbt stage to prepare your application. On the first deployment, all dependencies will be downloaded, which takes a while to complete (but they will be cached for future deployments).

If you are using RequireJS and you find that your application hangs at this step:

[info] Optimizing JavaScript with RequireJS

Then try following the steps in the Using Node.js to Perform JavaScript Optimization for Play and Scala Applications on the Heroku Dev Center. This will greatly improve the performance of the Javascript engine.

§Check that your application has been deployed

Now, let’s check the state of the application’s processes:

$ heroku ps
=== web (Free): `target/universal/stage/bin/sample-app -Dhttp.port=${PORT}`
web.1: up 2015/01/09 11:27:51 (~ 4m ago)

The web process is up and running. We can view the logs to get more information:

$ heroku logs
2015-07-13T20:44:47.358320+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `target/universal/stage/bin/myapp -Dhttp.port=${PORT}`
2015-07-13T20:44:49.750860+00:00 app[web.1]: Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx384m -Xss512k -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
2015-07-13T20:44:52.297033+00:00 app[web.1]: [warn] application - Logger configuration in conf files is deprecated and has no effect. Use a logback configuration file instead.
2015-07-13T20:44:54.960105+00:00 app[web.1]: [info] p.a.l.c.ActorSystemProvider - Starting application default Akka system: application
2015-07-13T20:44:55.066582+00:00 app[web.1]: [info] play.api.Play$ - Application started (Prod)
2015-07-13T20:44:55.445021+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to up
2015-07-13T20:44:55.330940+00:00 app[web.1]: [info] p.c.s.NettyServer$ - Listening for HTTP on /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:8626
...

We can also tail the logs as we would for a regular file. This is useful for debugging:

$ heroku logs -t --app warm-frost-1289
2015-07-13T20:44:47.358320+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `target/universal/stage/bin/myapp -Dhttp.port=${PORT}`
2015-07-13T20:44:49.750860+00:00 app[web.1]: Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx384m -Xss512k -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
2015-07-13T20:44:52.297033+00:00 app[web.1]: [warn] application - Logger configuration in conf files is deprecated and has no effect. Use a logback configuration file instead.
2015-07-13T20:44:54.960105+00:00 app[web.1]: [info] p.a.l.c.ActorSystemProvider - Starting application default Akka system: application
2015-07-13T20:44:55.066582+00:00 app[web.1]: [info] play.api.Play$ - Application started (Prod)
2015-07-13T20:44:55.445021+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to up
2015-07-13T20:44:55.330940+00:00 app[web.1]: [info] p.c.s.NettyServer$ - Listening for HTTP on /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:8626
...

Looks good. We can now visit the app by running:

$ heroku open

§Deploying with the sbt-heroku plugin

The Heroku sbt plugin utilizes an API to provide direct deployment of prepackaged standalone web applications to Heroku. This may be a preferred approach for applications that take a long time to compile, or that need to be deployed from a Continuous Integration server such as Travis CI or Jenkins.

§Adding the plugin

To include the plugin in your project, add the following to your project/plugins.sbt file:

addSbtPlugin("com.heroku" % "sbt-heroku" % "0.5.1")

Next, we must configure the name of the Heroku application the plugin will deploy to. But first, create a new app. Install the Heroku Toolbelt and run the create command.

$ heroku create
Creating obscure-sierra-7788... done, stack is cedar-14
http://obscure-sierra-7788.herokuapp.com/ | [email protected]:obscure-sierra-7788.git

Now add something like this to your build.sbt, but replace “obscure-sierra-7788” with the name of the application you created (or you can skip this if you are using Git locally).

herokuAppName in Compile := "obscure-sierra-7788"

The sbt-heroku project’s documentation contains details on configuring the execution of the plugin.

§Deploying with the plugin

With the plugin added, you can deploy to Heroku by running this command:

$  sbt stage deployHeroku
...
[info] -----> Packaging application...
[info]        - app: obscure-sierra-7788
[info]        - including: target/universal/stage/
[info] -----> Creating build...
[info]        - file: target/heroku/slug.tgz
[info]        - size: 30MB
[info] -----> Uploading slug... (100%)
[info]        - success
[info] -----> Deploying...
[info] remote:
[info] remote: -----> Fetching custom tar buildpack... done
[info] remote: -----> sbt-heroku app detected
[info] remote: -----> Installing OpenJDK 1.8... done
[info] remote: -----> Discovering process types
[info] remote:        Procfile declares types -> console, web
[info] remote:
[info] remote: -----> Compressing... done, 78.9MB
[info] remote: -----> Launching... done, v6
[info] remote:        https://obscure-sierra-7788.herokuapp.com/ deployed to Heroku
[info] remote:
[info] -----> Done
[success] Total time: 90 s, completed Aug 29, 2014 3:36:43 PM

And you can visit your application by running this command:

$ heroku open -a obscure-sierra-7788

You can see the logs for your application by running this command:

$ heroku logs -a obscure-sierra-7788

Note that if you are using Git, you can omit the -a option above as the app
name will be detected from the Git remote that was added to your config when you
ran heroku create.

§Connecting to a database

Heroku provides a number of relational and NoSQL databases through Heroku Add-ons. Play applications on Heroku are automatically provisioned with a Heroku Postgres database. To configure your Play application to use the Heroku Postgres database, first add the PostgreSQL JDBC driver to your application dependencies (build.sbt):

libraryDependencies += "org.postgresql" % "postgresql" % "9.4-1201-jdbc41"

Then create a new file in your project’s root directory named Procfile (with a capital “P”) that contains the following (substituting the myapp with your project’s name):

web: target/universal/stage/bin/myapp -Dhttp.port=${PORT} -Dplay.evolutions.db.default.autoApply=true -Ddb.default.url=${DATABASE_URL}

This instructs Heroku that for the process named web it will run Play and override the play.evolutions.db.default.autoApply, db.default.driver, and db.default.url configuration parameters. Note that the Procfile command can be maximum 255 characters long. Alternatively, use the -Dconfig.resource= or -Dconfig.file= mentioned in production configuration page.

Also, be aware the the DATABASE_URL is in the platform independent format:

vendor://username:password@host:port/db

Play will automatically convert this into a JDBC URL for you if you are using one
of the built in database connection pools. But other database libraries and
frameworks, such as Slick or Hibernate, may not support this format natively.
If that’s the case, you may try using the experimental JDBC_DATABASE_URL in
place of DATABASE_URL in the configuration like this:

db.default.url=${?JDBC_DATABASE_URL}
db.default.username=${?JDBC_DATABASE_USERNAME}
db.default.password=${?JDBC_DATABASE_PASSWORD}

Note that the creation of a Procfile is not actually required by Heroku, as Heroku will look in your Play application’s conf directory for an application.conf file in order to determine that it is a Play application.
