The RedHat OpenShift folks are making it super-simple to deploy a Lift app.

The Escalante project provides an amazingly simple way to deploy a Lift app.

Basically, just write you Lift app with a Maven POM file, git-push the app to OpenShift and in a few minutes, you app is live.

How to do it

I built a simple Lift/Escalante app.

Basically, I followed the instructions and then I added the code for a simple chat app.

OpenShift and Escalante just work with Lift. Thanks for Galder for creating Escalante and lowering to barriers to entry for Lift.

David, I've got more Lift/Escalante cool stuff coming up for version 0.2.0 including:

- SBT support for Escalante, so you can deploy Lift apps to Escalante from SBT! :)

- Support for latest Lift 2.5-M3.

- Lift JPA integration example with Escalante, which uses JPA backed by Hibernate.

Thanks for the support! :D
