We have similar applications available for Node.js, Java Spring, Go, Python Django & Flask, and Java Liberty.
In this sample application, you will create a basic web application using Kitura to serve web pages in Swift, complete with standard best practices, including a health check.
You can deploy this application to IBM Cloud or build it locally by cloning this repo first. Once your app is live, you can access the /health endpoint to build out your cloud native application.
Use the button above to deploy this same application to IBM Cloud. This option will create a deployment pipeline, complete with a hosted Git lab project and DevOps toolchain. You will have the option of deploying to either Cloud Foundry or a Kubernetes cluster. IBM Cloud DevOps services provides toolchains as a set of tool integrations that support development, deployment, and operations tasks inside IBM Cloud.
To get started building this application locally, you can either run the application natively or use the IBM Cloud Developer Tools for containerization and easy deployment to IBM Cloud.
- On Linux, install the Swift toolchain version v5.1.
- On macOS, install Xcode v11+
In the root of this project, first build the application using swift build. swift run will launch the application and render it at http://localhost:8080.
Install IBM Cloud Developer Tools on your machine by running the following command:
curl -sL https://ibm.biz/idt-installer | bash
Create an application on IBM Cloud by running:
ibmcloud dev createThis will create and download a starter application with the necessary files needed for local development and deployment.
Your application will be compiled with Docker containers. To compile and run your app, run:
ibmcloud dev build
ibmcloud dev runThis will launch your application locally. When you are ready to deploy to IBM Cloud on Cloud Foundry or Kubernetes, run one of the commands:
ibmcloud dev deploy -t buildpack // to Cloud Foundry
ibmcloud dev deploy -t container // to K8s clusterYou can build and debug your app locally with:
ibmcloud dev build --debug
