How To Deploy

For Moltimate, we deploy using Google Cloud Platform's (GCP) App Engine. The first thing you'll need to do in order to do this is install GCP. You can install the GCP API using the instructions here. After that, you'll have to run some first time setup for the GCP SDK. Once you have completed this, you should be ready to deploy Moltimate to the cloud. We recommend doing this using maven. In order to trigger a deployment using maven, run the following command mvn clean compile appengine:deploy -Pprod. This will cause maven to rebuild the project, and deploy to Google App Engine using the 'prod' environment. It is important to deploy using the prod environment because this will ensure the proper dependencies for google cloud will be used and that the deployed system will be using the cloud database rather than a local in-memory database.
