There are many ways to become a part of the Node.js ecosystem, but not all of them allow developers to jump in equally easily. A tool reducing the infrastructure development process to minutes would definitely make the process smoother. The presentation describes how IBM Bluemix Live Sync can help engineers working with Node.js to accelerate the setup of an IT infrastructure and a development environment.

How does it work?

22. @altoros@melnikaite
Create toolchain

23. @altoros@melnikaite
Add tools

Editor

25. @altoros@melnikaite
Collaboration

26. @altoros@melnikaite
Editor features
hotkeys
drag and drop to upload files
split mode to work with multiple files
good integration with git
eslint directives

27. @altoros@melnikaite
Editor special files

28. @altoros@melnikaite
Launch configuration step 1
override manifest.yml
you can’t edit launch files manually
add them to git and cf ignore files

Launch configuration step 2

30. @altoros@melnikaite
Launch configuration step 3
spawn child process
default buildpack
128M+ additional memory

31. @altoros@melnikaite
Deploy
devconsole
shell
inspector
proxy
