kotlin-spark-heroku-starter

Demo: https://kotlin-spark-heroku-starter.herokuapp.com/

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

This application supports the Getting Started with Java on Heroku article - check it out.

Running Locally

Make sure you have Java and Maven installed. Also, install the Heroku CLI.

$ git clone https://github.com/tbxark/kotlin-spark-heroku-starter.git
$ cd heroku-starter
$ mvn install
$ heroku local:start

Or you can start directly using maven

$ git clone https://github.com/tbxark/kotlin-spark-heroku-starter.git
$ cd heroku-starter
$ mvn install
$ mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.tbxark.ApplicationKt"

Your app should now be running on localhost:5000.

If you're going to use a database, ensure you have a local .env file that reads something like this:

JDBC_DATABASE_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/java_database_name

Deploying to Heroku

$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku open
