Node.js sample application

A sample application is provided to show you how you can create, deploy, and monitor a Node.js application in IBM® Cloud Private.

The sample application was created using the IBM Cloud Developer Tools. Monitoring is provided by the following npm modules, which are included in the application:

• appmetrics , which collects monitoring data, and appmetrics-dash , which provides a view of that data.
• appmetrics-prometheus , which provides monitoring data for viewing with Prometheus . You can deploy Prometheus into your cluster, then use it to monitor Node.js applications running on potentially many pods inside Kubernetes.

You can install the Node.js sample application from the Catalog: search for nodejs-sample. After the deployment, start the application to view web pages that provide further information about the application.

The sample application runs on the IBM SDK for Node.js runtime. For more information about the SDK, see IBM SDK for Node.js .
