Migrating the Bluemix UI to a Microservices Architecture on CloudFoundry

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Migrating a Dojo-based single‑page Bluemix UI off a Java monolith into per-page services on CloudFoundry, with a proxy layer serving friendly URLs (e.g. bluemix.net/solutions) and a common microservice that returns header/footer HTML so heterogeneous stacks share UI chrome. Solutions and Home are already live behind the proxy while Dashboard remains monolithic. Deployment uses a blue/green deploy pattern; work is successful but uncovers needs for context path routing, private app routing, service registry, logging/correlation IDs and composite app monitoring.
