vertx-cloudfoundry | A simple Java webapp using Eclipse Vert.x on Cloud Foundry

vertx-cloudfoundry is a Java library. vertx-cloudfoundry has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This demo shows a very simple hello world Vert.x project for Cloud Foundry. It has a simple HTTP server which simply serves the /webroot/index.html. This demo uses Vert.x and is packed using the official CloudFoundry java-buildpack. The manifest.yml specifies the app’s memory to be 768MB because any lower and the java-buildpack throws an error that it can’t allocate enough heap space. (See the list of certified platforms). The environment variable PORT is normally provided by your CloudFoundry service, and therefore can change when being deployed. Otherwise the default port is 8080. The webroot is located under src/main/java/resources so it can be packaged into the JAR file. If the webroot is not packaged inside the JAR file like this, then we can’t deploy it easily to CloudFoundry using the java-buildpack. A custom buildpack would have to be created instead. But that’s beyond the scope of this demo. This demo also uses Gradle+shadowJar plugin to build the application and all it’s dependencies into a single "fat" jar.
