What cloud platform supports playframework 2.x dep

Question

I know many platforms that currently support play 1.x but did any one have tried any that support play 2.x.

Answer 1

As far as I know, you have :

• Heroku
• Cloudfoundry

EDIT : I'll add a bit of information about Play! cloud platforms. Zenexity, the company behind Play had a cloud platform for 1.x versions of Play! : playapps. They recently announced (1st may 2012) that they will close the platform. But they are suggesting a move to Heroku for all plays apps. As well for versions 1.x as 2.x.

Answer 2

OpenShift

Answer 3

There is also dotCloud.

Answer 4

Jelastic is a breath of fresh air.

Answer 5

I would recommend Heroku as The One (in capital letters). They are amazing, and provide excellent support for Play.

BUT! we aware that (unless I missed something last week) they still DO NOT SUPPORT WebSockets, arguably one of the major improvements in Play 2.0. So, if your application requires WebSockets, go with Amazon EC2.

Answer 6

I would recommend openshift, here's a screencast showing how to do it http://playlatam.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/deploying-play-framework-2-apps-with-java-and-scala-to-openshift/
