Heroku Deployment

gbf-raidfinder runs comfortably on Heroku's free tier, for about ~5000 concurrent users. After the 5.5k user mark, performance starts to degrade, due to Heroku's router not being able to keep up.

The app needs Twitter API credentials to connect to the streaming API. You can create a new app at apps.twitter.com (You can enter whatever name/description/website you want, it doesn't actually matter). After you have an app, check the "Keys and Access Tokens" tab, and generate your access token/secret.

Although Heroku is free, it's recommended to add a credit card so Heroku allows your application to run 24/7 (you won't be charged).

Quick Deploy

Deploy

You can click the image above to deploy the current code in this repository to Heroku. This will compile and run the app (it may take several minutes to build the first time), and add Redis Cloud for persistence.

Manual Deploy

gbf-raidfinder uses sbt-heroku for manual Heroku deployment. To run your own instance, you will need to set some environment variables and enable Redis Cloud.

  • Set Twitter credentials:

    heroku config:add oauth.consumerKey=insert
heroku config:add oauth.consumerSecret=your
heroku config:add oauth.accessToken=credentials
heroku config:add oauth.accessTokenSecret=here

  • Add the Redis Cloud add-on to your project

  • Change the following line in /build.sbt to point to your application name (not "gbf-raidfinder")

    herokuAppName in Compile := "gbf-raidfinder",

  • Run sbt stage deployHeroku
