rabbitmq on heroku without credit card - heroku

How to add rabbitmq (cloudAMQP) on Heroku without credit card details?
I am trying to configure cloudAMQP on Heroku from CLI .
For mongodb we can use mongoLab on Heroku without using credit card .But the same process does not work with cloudAMQP.
Please suggest.

You can go to cloudamqp.com directly and sign up for their free version. you will receive a connection string from them, when you sign up, and you can add it to your application configuration just like any other connection string.
I use cloudamqp.com directly, even with my heroku deployed projects. works quite well.

Not able add free Ignite clearDB to Heroku app

I am not able to add free Ignite clearDB to my Heroku app. It asked for to give credit card information.
Terminal:
Not sure how to add it not providing the credit card information. please help.
Unfortunately, only Postgres can be configured without an "Account Verification" through Heroku. See: Account Verification
When is verification required? You must verify your account if you, or
collaborators of your app, want to:
Use more than one dyno in the app.
Add any add-on to the app, even if the add-on is free. The only exceptions to this are the free plans for the Heroku Postgres and
Heroku Connect add-ons, which can be used without verification.
Add a custom domain to the app.
Receive the transfer of an app that has paid resources.
Exceed default one-off dyno limits on the app.
Have more than 5 apps at a time. Verified accounts may have up to 100 apps.
Try changing your database to Postgres if you don't want to give up credit card info. Just be sure to note the slight syntax differences.

How to run my Slack chatbot on Heroku?

I recently built a Slack chatbot using this tutorial: https://youtu.be/jTaoU6u1Fcg
It worked great.
Now, I'm trying to run my bot on Heroku instead (so it works 24/7) but can't find anywhere online on how to do it.
The specific questions I need answered are:
What PORT do I add to my .env file now? (since I want it on a remote server public, I guess the answer isn't 3000 anymore)
Where (on Heroku) do I find the redirect URL for Oauth & Permissions?
Where (on Heroku) do I find the request URL for Event Subscriptions?
Will I still need to use ngrok or npm install? If I want the app to run 24/7, is Heroku enough?
Thanks for any help.
I just recently deployed a chatbot on heroku. The answers to your questions will be:
1. I kept the port same at 3000 and that will work on heroku as well.
2. I don't think you need to do anything on the heroku.
3. I don't think you need to do anything on the heroku.
4. ngrok wont work now but instead of ngrok url you will have add the url given by heroku (e.g. http://yourappname.herokuapp.com/) on your slack interactive elements and slash commands if you use them.
I hope this should fix your problem. One more thing there will be a proc file in heroku where you will have to give the entry path of your app.

Configure APNS on Parse Server

I'm trying to migrate from Parse.com service to a self-hosted Parse Server, and it's been a bit difficult.
Basically I set up my server like this:
Run $ npm install -g parse-server
Set env vars (PARSE_SERVER_DATABASE_URI, PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY, PARSE_SERVER_APPLICATION_ID)
Run $ parse-server
Everything is up and running, and I also setup a machine running parse-dashboard in a very similar way.
I had already synced the database and had no problems with it.
The problem is that when I try to send a push notification, I get the message:
Missing push configuration
I believe that's connected to the APNS settings. In Parse.com dashboard we can add the APNS certificates, but on the self hosted dashboard there is no such option (or I couldn't find it).
What am I missing? How do I set theses things up?
I believe that running parse-server without the recommended Express wrapper does not give me full control of everything I needed to configure the application.
I created an Express app, started the serving using the guide #thailey01 suggested and now it works.

Deploy Twilio to existing Heroku app

I find plenty of information on deploying Twilio to a new Heroku app, thereby creating it. I'm a little stuck on the process of deploying it to an app that I already have. My app has a lot of data in the database there and I don't want to have to recreate it all. Additionally I would like my app to serve PHP pages as well. Do I need 3 Heroku apps now then? Doesn't make sense!
Twilio developer evangelist here.
You don't need to build a new application to use Twilio on Heroku. If you already have your existing application all you need to do is add the relevant endpoints for receiving SMS messages and voice calls from Twilio and deploy to your existing Heroku deployment. It is recommended that you load your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token into the Heroku config so that you can use them there too.
Is there anything specific you need to know about this? What is the application you have already built?

Play Framework WebSocket Chat Example deploy on heroku

I'm trying to use the Play Framework starting with the WebSocket Chat Example founded here:
https://github.com/playframework/playframework/tree/2.0/samples/scala/websocket-chat
In particular this review of the last Play Framework version:
https://github.com/Shauli10/websocket-chat
I have deployed it on a Free Heroku Account, you can visit it ad this address:
https://desolate-shelf-8169.herokuapp.com
the problem is that when I insert the name, and I chat some message I can't see anything of what i send in the chat, and I can't also see the Robot that in the example type every 30 seconds a message, what I wrong? there is something I have to enable on Heroku for the WebSocket?
thanks
I notice that if I change the https part of the url to http (i.e. http://desolate-shelf-8169.herokuapp.com) your app seems to work. I'm not entirely sure why, but I know some browsers are picky about this with websockets.
Websockets should work on Heroku out-of-the-box. There is nothing that needs to be enabled.
Also, when I tried the template app:
$ git clone git#github.com:Shauli10/websocket-chat.git
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
It seems to "just work". If you are still having trouble, can you explain what you have changed in the template?
