ARMONK, N.Y., Oct. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- New capabilities
from IBM (NYSE: IBM) for its cloud platform, Bluemix, make it
faster and easier for developers to debug applications in a cloud
environment using popular open source utilities like node-inspector
and tty.js.
These types of open source utilities are widely used by developers
on their local machines, but connecting a debugging tool or other
utility in a cloud environment can be challenging and
time-consuming. Based on a solution developed by IBM software
engineers seeking to debug Node.js applications in Bluemix, this
capability is now available to developers through the definition of
a single Bluemix variable and a re-staging of the application.
Developers can access a full description of this capability and
how-to instructions in the Bluemix Developers Community
blog.
This feature is part of App Management, a set of development and
debugging utilities that can be enabled for Liberty and Node.js
applications on Bluemix.
IBM launched Bluemix with a $1
billion investment in 2014, and has grown rapidly to become
the largest public Cloud Foundry deployment in the world.
The open-standards-based Bluemix catalog includes over 120 tools
and services spanning categories of big data, mobile, Watson, analytics, integration, DevOps,
security and Internet of Things. IBM Bluemix was recently shown to
be the "developers' choice" of PaaS and is growing 10-times faster
than the overall PaaS market, according to research firm ESG.
