Hosting VertX web application

[Marko]

Greetings,

I've made myself a small CRUD-ish VertX (version 3.2.1) application, using AngularJS and Angular Material Design, and I've set it to listen on port 80. 

Since I want to show my work to some associates of mine, I want to host it somewhere. I've seen that OpenShift has support for VertX, but only version 2.1.

Where should I start if I want to host my web application?

Hi,

There is cartridge for vert.x 3 for openshift: https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-openshift-cartridge

However you can use any cloud provider as soon as it support Java. For example, you have an example for Heroku here: https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-examples/blob/master/Procfile.

Hi,

As Clement said, you need a host that will give you a JVM.

My personal preference is to use a linux VPS provider.  There are tons of options.  For enterprise VPS hosting, Linode is always good.  Digital ocean is a nice options.   I am currently using NodeServ  (www.nodeserv.com - they are very cheap- but solid -  and have coupon codes in which you can get a nice little VPS for $15 a year: great for developing, testing and prototyping ideas.)  Some developers and teams think that VPSs are more work than cloud type hosting and the likes of Heroku.  However, in my opinion, a VPS is much more simple because nothing changes when you change hosts - The same setup will work on almost any linux VPS provider.  So, there might be a little bit more to learn at the start, but once a developer is used to how it works, it is very easy to spin up a new instance on any host.

Best,
-Adam

If you just want to show the app to somebody on the internet without having it up all the time, ngrok.com is a very good service, this way you show your development installation on your own machine.
