I have a Play Framework app happily running on Heroku. I would like to run some rake tasks to backup the DB (OR, run anything for that matter to back up the db through a cron job on Heroku if there are other suggestions for java apps…).
So far i am striking out getting rake and Play Framework running together in the same app. As soon as I have a Gemfile there, Heroku things i am deploying a Ruby app and doesn’t compile/deploy my play app. Appreciate any insights!
The Cron addon is no longer recommended on Heroku. The scheduler add on is recommended instead.
The way the documentation says to use the scheduler add on (if you are not building your apps in Rails) is to use Ruby by calling it from a script file in a bin directory. Check out the documentation here – https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/scheduler
