Deploying a Sails.js app to Heroku?

Question

I have limited experience deploying Node.js apps -- how can I deploy a Sails.js app to Heroku?

I've heroku logined and heroku created my app already.

Answer 1

You should check out this github repo : heroku-sails It should get you started with sailsjs on heroku

There is a discussion around this particular github repo here on the sails.js google group

These are also resources that can help you get your app running :

• Sails Deployment Guide
• An answer of sails.js author to the same question

Answer 2

I want to prevent any confusion for those who are familiar to node deployment on heroku. There are a lot of guides to deploying node apps to heroku and a sails app is really no different. If you start a sails app by typing "node app.js" in terminal it will work. Here is the guide put out by Heroku for node apps. The only thing different is that you have a sails rather than a plain vanilla express app.

I've used this to deploy my sails apps no problem.
