Java Getting Started (Maven)

A barebones Java app, which can easily be deployed to Heroku.

This application supports the tutorials for both the Cedar and Fir generations of the Heroku platform. You can check them out here:

• Getting Started on Heroku with Java
• Getting Started on Heroku Fir with Java (Maven)

Deploying to Heroku

Using resources for this example app counts towards your usage. Delete your app and database as soon as you are done experimenting to control costs.

Deploy on Heroku Cedar

By default, apps use Eco dynos if you are subscribed to Eco. Otherwise, it defaults to Basic dynos. The Eco dynos plan is shared across all Eco dynos in your account and is recommended if you plan on deploying many small apps to Heroku. Learn more about our low-cost plans here.

Eligible students can apply for platform credits through our new Heroku for GitHub Students program.

$ git clone https://github.com/heroku/java-getting-started
$ cd java-getting-started
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku main
$ heroku open

Deploy on Heroku Fir

By default, apps on Fir use 1X-Classic dynos. To create an app on Fir you'll need to create a private space first.

$ git clone https://github.com/heroku/java-getting-started
$ cd java-getting-started
$ heroku create --space <space-name>
$ git push heroku main
$ heroku ps:wait
$ heroku open
