To openbd devs - Is this something you guys are actively looking into right now? I'm only asking because if that is the case I'm going to wait and see how that goes. I'd love to tack a crack at it, but after looking at how this works I'd have to concede it is over my head - I have no experience writing bash scripts, which is essentially what this boils down to as far as I can tell. I thought it would be a matter of doing some minor customization of a jetty instance, but it looks more like building one from scratch...

The git requirement isn't optional, but the runtime is. Heroku offers "buildpacks", which determine what occurs when you 'git push heroku master'. You can read more about buildpacks here: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks With a buildpack, you could embed the OpenBD Ready2Run in your runtime (i.e. download it in the buildpack's bin/compile script) and run your app just as you would locally. Take a look at the java buildpack as an example. In bin/compile, it downloads maven and builds the project as necessary. https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-java If OpenDB offered a maven artifact (I couldn't find one), you could also use the same strategy that's used the railo example above. Let me know if you have any questions.
