ldmberman / cf-redis-example-app

Example Cloud Foundry application for use with User-Provided Redis service instances

CF Redis Example App

This fork is an example of how you can consume a Redis service deployed to CF Diego from the Docker container.

It allows you to set, get and delete Redis key/value pairs using RESTful endpoints.

Getting Started

Install the app by pushing it to your Cloud Foundry and binding with the user-provided Redis service

Example:

 $ git clone [e-mail]:ldmberman/cf-redis-example-app.git
 $ cd redis-example-app
 $ cf push redis-example-app --no-start
 $ cf docker-push redis ldmberman/redis-custom

Find the app's host-port:

 $ cf app redis --guid
 $ curl -X GET receptor.<cf_domain>/v1/actual_lrps  # find the host and port in the output using your guid
 $ cf create-user-provided-service redis -p '{"port":"<port>","host":"<host>"}'
 $ cf bind-service redis-example-app redis

Then it is neccessary to allow the inner traffic to Redis instance by adding a security group.

Endpoints

PUT /:key

Sets the value stored in Redis at the specified key to a value posted in the 'data' field. Example:

$ export APP=redis-example-app.my-cloud-foundry.com
$ curl -X PUT $APP/foo -d 'data=bar'
success

GET /:key

Returns the value stored in Redis at by the key specified by the path. Example:

$ curl -X GET $APP/foo
bar

DELETE /:key

Deletes a Redis key spcified by the path. Example:

$ curl -X DELETE $APP/foo
success
