Would be nice if there were something like this (like Heroku) for Java. I know that there are several "cloud" solutions for Java, but I haven't found something as simple to manage/extend/deploy like Heroku so far :(.

How seriously can you take a service if developers forgets to disable the DEBUG flag :) http://djangy.com/admin

must to be fixed quickly, that's a serious error.

Yeah thats the problem with deploying "by hand". Maybe this python guys should use Capistrano for this things :)

yeah there are, http://www.stax.net/ for Java EE developers.

another, https://www.playapps.net/ for play apps., those written using the playframework.

Fabric is nice too and it's in python (http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9.1/).

I used Stax during beta, and it's nice, but it's no near the Heroku ease of use (puls it's little helper Nezumi http://nezumiapp.com/ when on the way). With very small restrictions, one can install anything on Stax, so it's very flexible, but just not that easy to use as Heroku'.

Unfortunately Play framework is not based on a servlet container (something that 99% of java webapps are using).

I regularly use Fabric. After deploying a couple of projects with it, I have come up with a standard deployment layout and stack. Now its as simple as "fab deploy" and "fab revert". Thank you fab!

I'm looking to optimize my fab setup, feel like sharing your fabfile.py?

Same here, except I've set things up so that any changes I make to my project are automatically synced instantly to a live staging domain, and I don't have a revert command (although I do back up copies of previous deployments). I also keep apt and pypi dependencies in project-local config files and have a refresh command that updates those packages on both the remote and local machine along with some other stuff. I think I might have overengineered things a little.
