Create and deploy a Swift Kitura application

We have applications available for Node.js Express, Go Gin, Python Flask, Python Django, Java Spring, Java Liberty, Swift Kitura, Android, and iOS.

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.

Steps

Deploying to IBM Cloud

IBM Cloud DevOps services provides toolchains as a set of tool integrations that support development, deployment, and operations tasks inside IBM Cloud.

Building Locally

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.

Native Application Development

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. You can also verify the state of your locally running application using the Selenium UI test script included in the scripts directory.

IBM Cloud Developer Tools

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 create

This 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 run

This will launch your application locally. When you are ready to deploy to IBM Cloud on Kubernetes, run one of the commands:

ibmcloud dev deploy -t container // to K8s cluster

You can build and debug your app locally with:

ibmcloud dev build --debug
ibmcloud dev debug
