Vertx automated deployment

I've been recently exploring Vertx documentation and was wondering what are the common automated deployment strategies for Vertx application ?

Let's assume I've written my app in serveral languages.

Verticle1: vertictles/1verticle.js

Verticle2: verticles/2verticle.rb

Verticle3: verticles/3verticle.java

From the documentation I've found only this:

// deploy java verticle via hierachy path:

vertx.deployVerticle("com.mycompany.MyOrderProcessorVerticle");

// Deploy a JavaScript verticle

vertx.deployVerticle("verticles/1verticle.js");

// Deploy a Ruby verticle verticle

vertx.deployVerticle("verticles/2verticle.rb");

// Deploy a Java verticle verticle

vertx.deployVerticle("verticles/3verticle.java");

So how do I automate deployment?

Do I just create some main deployment file like app.java with the contents mentioned above and then just run it with vertx cli ?

$ vertx run java:app.java ?

Another question, what happens exactly underneath when we deploy a mixture of JS, RB and JAVA Verticles ?

Does it compile everything into JVM byte code?

Or does it just interpret the script files ?

Solution

  • Yes it might just work if you deploy it from some main app file like app.java including there the deployment path to files programmatically:

    vertx.deployVerticle("path-to-verticle/someVerticle.js");

vertx.deployVerticle("path-to-verticle/someVerticle.rb");

vertx.deployVerticle("path-to-verticle/someVerticle.ceylon");
