Open Toolchain Sample Project

DevOps promises to improve both development and operational efficiences while enhancing partnership with customers. More than doing the same things faster, DevOps relies on establishing a good delivery pipeline spanning from ideation to monitoring. The Open Toolchain Sample Project can get you started. It will create a new project in IBM DevOps, build it using the latest tools, deploy it to IBM Bluemix, and lay the foundation for scale and operations.

The application is a simple Node.js Express 4 sample you can extend to implement your new offering today. The various stages of the pipeline may require ids, trials, or subscriptions to independent service offering. Each tool included an explanation of how to get and use IDs for each service.
