Hi Steinar,
To be honest, I didn’t know Heroku.
If Heroku is able to run Java, I don’t see why we won’t be able to run karaf.
It’s basically, what pax exam is doing.
It would be even simpler with Karaf5 as we have the Karaf main:
KarafConfig config = KarafConfig.builder()
.homeDirectory("karaf")
.dataDirectory("karaf/data")
.cacheDirectory("karaf/data/cache")
.build();
karaf = Karaf.build(config);
karaf.init();
karaf.addExtension("mvn:org.apache.karaf.extensions/log/5.0.0-SNAPSHOT");
karaf.addModule("file:my-app.jar");
So, we can do that in "code" and let heroku build it and run it.
We already have a full story with Kubenetes (I blogged about that, and I’m
preparing a blog about Karaf5).
I think we can prepare a heroku use case if it’s useful.
Regards
JB
