Also, isn't that how things are deployed on google app engine? (just push up a war file)
It would be nice if the deployment process was similar, so that users of other hosting systems could easily give heroku a try, and see how awesome it is. You may also want to checkout CloudFoundry <http://cloudfoundry.com/faq> and keep an eye on how they do things. (I just pushed out a rails app to their beta product, and ran some performance tests. They are still adding features, but my app is running fine, so I'll definitely keep them on my radar) -John On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 12:21 AM, Carson Gross <[email protected]> wrote: > Guys, > > Just saw your announcement on supporting Java applications, and I'm > very excited about it.
