[play-framework] [2.0] Cloud Service Providers which support Play 2.0 apps

[Bill]

Hello All,

I've written a play 2.0 service app which exposes a websocket
controller action. I'm planning to deploy/host it on a cloud service
but i have a little knowledge which cloud service support play 2.0
app. Could you tell me any Cloud Service providers which support Play
2.0 apps hosting ? Many thanks in advance.

Cheers.

Hello Ivan,

Thanks for responding my query. I also want to add a link about how to
deploy a Play 2.0 app into Heroku, in case anyone need it:

Cheers.

Using the do-it-yourself application, it's relatively easy to have
your play2 apps running on openshift, red hat's PaaS

here's a quickstart that will help you get started

https://github.com/opensas/play2-openshift-quickstart#readme

we did a webinar showing the whole process, in a couple of days will
put it online

Hello Sas,

That's awesome!. I'm looking forward for the online material of PLay 2
in OpenShift. Meanwhile, i have deployed a play 2.0 web app sample
into Heroku successfully (http://sharp-sword-3552.herokuapp.com).
However, i still felt uneasy when seeing that the Playframework's
opening page didn't show up on the screen ( it only showed a plain
HTML with 'Your new application is ready.' string rendered on it).
Seemed like heroku is unable to render the scala HTML view pages. Does
it an expected behaviour which happen with everyone whom deploying
their play 2.0 app in Heroku ? or is there any settings that i miss
with the play 2.0 app in heroku ?

Cheer.

That is the default production page. That is a scala html view page probably.

[Bill]

Hello Ivan,

Thanks for responding my latest query. I've just realised that once
the app is deployed into heroku, it is compiled as a production app.
I'm curious whether anyone have ever run play 2.0 web apps in heroku
which expose websocket controller actions before. Did anyone try it
before ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried it but Heroku does not (yet ?) support Websockets for the moment (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/play-framework/QaTzF7Fau8Q), neither OpenShift (https://openshift.redhat.com/community/content/websockets-support)

Hello Nico & Ben,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Play 2.0 web apps in cloud
services. When i was googling about it, i've found that dotcloud host
websockets web apps. Please have looks to this link:
http://docs.dotcloud.com/guides/websockets/. Have anyone tried
deploying play 2.0 websocket app in dotcloud lately ? how was it
going ? Many thanks in advance, folks.

Cheers.

Hi,

I did not try with a websocket app, but if you would like to test have a look to:

• https://github.com/mchv/play2-on-dotcloud
• http://play2example-mchv.dotcloud.com/

According to their documentation, there is noting specific to configure if you are are not using a custom domain.

Cheers,

Mariot

Big thanks for the info !

I just tried to deploy my Websocket Play app (http://goo.gl/fapsG) and it works like a charm (just had to make some customization on the Mariot's scripts). You can see the result here: http://maptracker-ndeverge.dotcloud.com/map

See the attached screenshot.

yes, most cloud providers run play apps on production mode, and for
security reasons when running on prod mode play doesn't show the
welcome page, that leaks lot's of information

if you run your app locally on production mode you'll see the same
message

yea, I talked to openshift devs and it seems it's not so eays to keep
a sokect connection open on a cloud environmente, they are working on
it though

Hello Nico, Mariot & Sas,

Thanks all for your great responses. I would try out to test the
dotcloud and see how it goes with websocket in play2.0, in this
weekend.

Cheers.

[Nico]

Thanks Sas !
Yeah, sure, it may be hard to implement since Websocket brings some kind of statefull state, which is hard to scale in a cloud env...

[Nico]

Bill,

if you want to take a look, I updated a Websocket demo  of mine with the config files needed to deploy on dotcloud, the files are available here (in the 'dotcloud' branch): https://github.com/Ekito/MapTracker/tree/dotcloud 

I followed the hints given by Mariot.

[Bill]

That's awesome, Nico ! Thanks for sharing your sample app to us. I'll
workout my apps later.

Cheers.
