 === VuFind on Heroku === === VuFind on Heroku ===
 +
 +Ben's experience at Keystone Library Network inspired the idea of using Heroku to run VuFind with less infrastructure support. Some significant challenges -- like record loading -- but if we can solve these, we potentially make the application accessible to a wider group of people. Goal: one-click instance spin-up (which is what Heroku allows) would make "try before you commit" much easier.
 +
 +Ben spun up a proof-of-concept instance at [[https://vufind-example.herokuapp.com/|https://vufind-example.herokuapp.com/]]. Not everything works yet, but it's a good start.
 +
 +Pull request [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/913|#913]] suggests some very basic changes to make VuFind more Heroku-friendly and provide a baseline for working on new functionality.
 +
 +Suggestion: reach out to Code4lib mailing list to find potential users.
 +
 +Things to do: start composing composer.lock in master.
 +
 +Goal: add support for Heroku without negatively impacting non-Heroku users.
 +
 +Discussion: need for Heroku-specific Apache configuration to meet specific Heroku needs. Can we auto-generate this or do we need to commit two different templates to Git?
