http://techcrunch.com – Heroku has added Java for a new enterprise focused service so companies and IT organizations can build and run Java applications in the cloud. In a press release, Heroku boasts it will allow companies to deploy mission-critical apps in minutes instead of months. That’s quite an assertion but the platform as a service (PaaS) market is showing the enterprise that developers need ways to quickly put up apps without always having to be managed through IT. Heroku Enterprise for Java is part of the Salesforce Platform – its play to offer development environments for social and mobile app (IT news)

Stories similar to Heroku Enterprise For Java – A New Play In A Crowded Market

I ran across this page in the Heroku docs...

Naked domains, also called bare or apex domains, are configured in DNS via A-records and have serious availability implications when used in highly available environments such as massive on-premise datacenters, cloud infrastructure services, and platforms like Heroku.

For maximum scalability and resiliency applications should avoid naked domain

I’ve had a sense for a while that infrastructure-as-a-service (like Amazon Web Services) and platform-as-a-service (like Heroku) are converging. Developers love the idea of using a PaaS to speed up provisioning and deployment, but don’t necessarily want to completely give up control of their environments.

To date, the Java platform has attracted more than 9 million software developers and is the foundation for virtually every type of networked application. It also is the global standard for developing and delivering mobile applications, games, Web-based content and enterprise software. Java enables us to efficiently develop and deploy exciting applications and services.

Salesforce.com is setting up the next big battle in the market with a new service they are calling Facebook style identity for the enterprise. The new service, which Marc Benioff first discussed on stage at Disrupt San Francisco 2012, is being called a single, social, trusted identity in the cloud across all enterprise apps. The next big battle in the enterprise will center on identity.

CircleCI, a continuous integration platform for web application developers, has announced $1.5 millon in seed funding from a group of individual investors.

OpenShift is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) product from Red Hat, Inc., a leading open source technology software outfit based in Raleigh, North Carolina. OpenShift is both a cloud platform and a free application that you can run on your hardware.

I'm planning to set up a Django site on Heroku. It will run on Heroku's Cedar stack, which allows Python apps, but doesn't include or support HTTP upstream caching with Varnish like the other stacks do.

It will be a very read-heavy site and I'd like to use Varnish for HTTP caching.

I'm trying to setup a Geotrust SSL certificate for my Heroku app using the SSL Endpoint addon and the instructions at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-endpoint.

I generated my public key from my private key using:

openssl rsa -in server.orig.key -out server.key

and added to the heroku certs:

heroku certs:add server.crt server.key

Everything seemed to be fine.

Deploying your web app to heroku is easy

What I want to know it is there any open source tools installed on your linux server so you can have the same deploying experience, since heroku buildpacks is all open source.
