Deploy to Heroku

Setting Ktor project

Before deploying Ktor project to Heroku we need to do 2 things.

1. Firstly, we need to add new gradle task with name stage. Just paste code below:

tasks {
    task("stage") {
        dependsOn("installDist")
    }
}

2. Second thing is to create a file called Procfile which is required by Heroku (in project root directory). Should be just a text file but without txt. suffix. After that, run task stage to be sure to install app build. Last step is to paste path to this generated build. E.g.

web: build/install/com.pro8l3m.ktor-fake-users/bin/com.pro8l3m.ktor-fake-users

Deploying

• Commit and push changes to project repository on GitHub
• Push previosly commited changes to Heroku with line below:

git push heroku master
