Deploy bleeding-edge APK download service to a more stable service than Glitch

[cvan]

In PR #1172, I added links to the README for a service (view source) I created to more easily download the APKs from the most recently completed Taskcluster build:

Glitch is a great tool for prototyping web services, but because Glitch is currently free, there's an aggressive daemon that hibernates idle projects when the page is not being actively used by users, which often causes projects to take a while to cold launch.

Let's deploy the server code to a Heroku instance (we have a Mozilla Corporation account used for various one-off projects).

Looking longer term, @bluemarvin suggested in #1172 (comment) that Taskcluster could start providing a similar method of serving artifacts on demand without having to cumbersomly calling Taskcluster API endpoints (e.g., with helper redirect URLs à la https://github.taskcluster.net/v1/repository/MozillaReality/FirefoxReality/master/latest). I've filed a feature request for Taskcluster: taskcluster/taskcluster#724.

BTW, I contacted someone at Glitch, and https://fxr.glitch.me will now always be alive and not need to be wait to be awaken after idle time.

The project's source code here is viewable on Glitch, so if someone wants to migrate this service elsewhere, feel free to. Also, see this Taskcluster issue if you want to simplify the code path: taskcluster/taskcluster#724 (comment)

Quick note, looks like fxr.glitch.me is down. We might indeed want to move this if it's an issue. -- Andre Vrignaud — Head of Mixed Reality Platform Strategy | Emerging Technologies | Mozilla [email protected] | +1 (206) 245-6067 <%2B1.206.245.6067> | Skype: andrevrignaud

we'll use taskcluster for this instead. see #1905
