Host project tracker with Spring Boot: relational workspace data

Summary

Deploy a project tracker built with Spring Boot on Ample using the relational records pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, a managed PostgreSQL 16 database is auto-provisioned and injected as DATABASE_URL. Verified on Spring Boot: a workspace-scoped table, an explicit state machine (draft to review to published) that rejects invalid transitions, and a cross-workspace read that returns nothing (transitions=true isolation=true). Not separately tested: your record schema, states and access rules; treat the project tracker-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host project tracker with Spring Boot: relational workspace data
• Where can I host Project tracker built with Spring Boot?
• I need a workspace-specific schema, state transitions and access rules.

Resource Requirements

• Compute
• Postgres

Infrastructure Requirements

• Compute: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
• Postgres: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.

Prerequisites

• A Spring Boot project that builds and starts with the documented commands (./mvnw -q -DskipTests package (or the Gradle wrapper) producing one application jar, then java -jar on the jvm-21 template (Temurin JDK 21) with server.port read from PORT)
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL at runtime (auto-provisioned when omitted, or supplied with --env)
• An Ample account token with servers:write, databases:read

Workflow Steps

1. Build and start: ./mvnw -q -DskipTests package (or the Gradle wrapper) producing one application jar, then java -jar on the jvm-21 template (Temurin JDK 21) with server.port read from PORT. The server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.
2. Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL: The fixture's module implements relational records: a workspace-scoped table, an explicit state machine (draft to review to published) that rejects invalid transitions, and a cross-workspace read that returns nothing (transitions=true isolation=true). Copy the approach into your schema; keep migrations idempotent and run them with --release-command.
3. Deploy: ample deploy . --name --public. Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result (exit 0 live, 1 failed, 2 blocked). Re-running with no change is a no-op.
4. Verify: ample logs --kind build. Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/relational-records) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read ample logs --kind build then --kind runtime.

Limitations

• Verified on the jvm-21 template at s-1vcpu-2gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates and Spring Boot major versions are not verified.
• The project tracker itself (your record schema, states and access rules) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.
• Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: $10.00
• Details:
  • App server: 1 x s-1vcpu-1gb = $5.00
  • Managed PostgreSQL database: 1 x s-1vcpu-1gb = $5.00
• Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps and databases auto-pause when idle.

Evidence Summary

• Canary Run: Spring Boot pattern fixture deployed on Ample; checks passed for relational-records and configuration-secrets.
• Canary Run: The same Spring Boot app deployed with a --release-command migration; the marker it created was readable after activation.
