Building and Deploying Your First Application on IBM Bluemix

Summary


In this chapter, we learned how to compose applications using the Node-RED editor, and how to deploy the application on Node.js runtime on Bluemix. Applications that can be composed, such as Node-RED applications, are easily extensible; the functionality of such applications can be extended by wiring additional nodes to the flow. We also looked at how to use the IBM DevOps services to configure a continuous delivery pipeline for your application. In this chapter, you also learned about how to create a Git repository for your application and how to use the web editor for working on your application source files.

In the next chapter, we will see how we can build applications on public Bluemix that leverage on-premises software.
