Lesson 3: Reaching For The Clouds (Heroku)

Introduction

This example shows how you can push a Spring Boot application to Heroku. You will need a Heroku account and the heroku command line toolbelt installed. This sample uses the heroku-maven-plugin to directly push the build application jar.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have logged into Heroku and created an application:

$ heroku login
$ heroku create -n

You will need the name of the created application later.

Pushing to Heroku

To build an push the application use the following command:

$ mvn clean package heroku:deploy -Dheroku.appName=<appname>

Note	The upload to Heroku can take some time to complete.
