Acmeair NodeJS on Bluemix

Assume you have access to Bluemix.

cf api api.ng.bluemix.net

cf login

Run Acmeair in Monolithic mode

Push Application

cf push acmeair-nodejs --no-start -c "node app.js"

Note that "acmeair-nodejs" is the application name and will be used for the hostname of the application. It needs to be unique so many need to add an

identifies to it to make it unique. You could use the initials of your name.

Create any one of the services

Mongo:

cf create-service mongodb 100 acmeairMongo

Cloudant:

cf create-service cloudantNoSQLDB Shared acmeairCL

Note: use the content from document/DDL/cloudant.ddl to create database and define search index

Bind service to application

cf bind-service acmeair-nodejs acmeairMongo

or

cf bind-service acmeair-nodejs acmeairCL

Start application and Access application URL

cf start acmeair-nodejs

http://acmeair-nodejs.mybluemix.net

Run Acmeair in Microservices mode

You must first deploy the Acmeair in Monolithic mode before proceeding.

Push the authentication service

cf push acmeair-authservice --no-start -c "node authservice-app.js"

Again, "acmeair-authservice" needs to be unique.

Now that the authentication service is running, you can configure the web application to use it by setting the following user defined environment

variable stopping the application first

cf stop acmeair-nodejs
cf set-env acmeair-nodejs AUTH_SERVICE acmeair-authservice.mybluemix.net:80

Enable Hystrix by setting the following user defined environment variable

cf set-env acmeair-nodejs enableHystrix true

Now start the authentication service and the web application

cf start acmeair-authservice
cf start acmeair-nodejs

Now go to http://acmeair-nodejs.mybluemix.net and login. That login uses the authentication microservice.

You can run the Hystrix Dashboard in Bluemix as well. To deploy the Hystrix dashboard, you need to download the WAR file for the dashboard. You

can find a link to the download here: https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/Dashboard#installing-the-dashboard. The following CF CLI command will deploy

the Hystrix dashboard to Bluemix:

cf push acmeair-hystrix -p hystrix-dashboard-1.4.5.war

At the time of this writing, the latest version of the WAR file was 1.4.5. Make sure you get the latest version. Note that as before, "acmeair-hystrix" needs

to be unique. The WAR file will get deployed to the Liberty for Java runtime in Bluemix. Once the hystrix dashboard app is running, you will be able to

access the dashboard using the following route:

http://acmeair-hystrix.mybluemix.net

To monitor the Acme Air authentication service, you need to monitor the following hystrix event stream:

http://acmeair-nodejs.mybluemix.net/rest/api/hystrix.stream

Specify that stream on the Hystrix Dashboard home page and click the Monitor.
