A simple NodeJS ToDo app with a twist - it can show you the source and type of provider serving the underlying REST API.

To get your own Todo App running on Apcera, click the button below:

Fill out the form, and you should be good to go in a few seconds.

There is 'config.json' that maps IP addresses to implied cloud provider, region, map marker and map marker position.

Assuming you have a local MongoDb

% cp dot.env .env
% npm install
% npm start

You can edit .env to set up POSTGRES_URI or MYSQL_URI if required.

Supports Postgres, MySql and Mongo.

If env variables for none are present then an In Memory record of the To Dos is kept - clearly only useful in a single instance situation and as a starting point

If in-memory is used a warning alert is placed in the UI to remind you that there is no persistence.

If you want to bind your app to a mysql provider while creating the app, you can add something like the following to continuum.conf:

services [
   {
      provider_name : "/apcera/providers::mysqlprovider",
      type: "mysql",
      service_name: "todo_mysql",
   }
]

There is a cluster location map which shows the locations defined by the cluster. This map relies on the config.json file, and looks for tags based on the "datacenter" tag. The current IP is used to determine which cluster you are in, then shows the other nodes from that cluster.

The server map section of the page has also been updated to do this. The map stays where it is, and the active node jumps around while running, while nodes are present.
