How do I deploy an Angular.js app?

Question

This may be a stupid question, but I\'m wondering what platform I should use to deploy my Angular.js app? I tried using Heroku but got a \"no Cedar-supported app detected\" erro

I bet if you look at your logs you'll see something like this:

2013-08-26T12:51:18.257006+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `node scripts/web-server.js`
2013-08-26T12:51:19.109974+00:00 app[web.1]: Http Server running at http://localhost:8000/
2013-08-26T12:51:34.369092+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H20 desc="App boot timeout" method=GET path=/ host=cmwidget.herokuapp.com fwd="77.101.66.230" dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes=
2013-08-26T12:52:19.445974+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch

It means that your Angular seed app is using it's own port (8000), and Heroku doesn't allow this. You need to relinquish the assignment of the port number to Heroku.

Easily fixed. Modify scripts/web-server.js, and change this:

this.server.listen(port);

...to this:

this.server.listen(process.env.PORT || port);
