Use ember cli mock server as actual server

I'm using ember-cli with Firebase for my data. I also have a simple server file I created with http-mock that handles some processes for Twilio. Is there a way to use that http-mock as an actual server on Heroku? I have found an embercli stack for heroku but I'm not sure how to make that use the server file I have:

Thank you in advance for the help.

I'd be curious to know how to do this as well. - Johnny Oshika
You want to use the mock server as your api? - Patsy Issa
Not exactly. I'm using Firebase for all of my data, I just have a mock server file to run some background processes for Twilio. Actually I'll put that into my question. - sturoid
There is no built in way to do this with ember-cli and it's not recommended, it's not meant to be a real server. You would need to set up a separate server to do this. - jakecraige
Thanks @jakecraige that's basically of what I have concluded. - sturoid

I believe that build pack just deploys your app's static files to Heroku.

The http-mock file you're working with within Ember CLI is a Node Express app. So, you'd need to host it on a server that can serve node apps somewhere.

In theory you could write a script that does that (deploys it separately) while keeping it within your main repo, but like others have said that's probably not a good idea.

In the future, though, you probably will be able to use http-mocks both for clicking around your app with ember serve, and for use in your tests.
