Deploy Containerless Tapestry Apps on Heroku
Recently I spent some time with Howard Lewis Ship, creator of the Apache Tapestry web framework. Howard is a technical rock star so it was really fun to sit down with him and hack on some code. Our goal was to make it easy for people to run their Tapestry apps on the cloud with Heroku. You can run anything on Heroku so there are a variety of ways to run Tapestry apps on Heroku. We wanted to put together something that helps Tapestry users run their apps in the most optimal way. What we came up with is available in Howard’s tapx-heroku package on GitHub. Lets walk through what it does.
