An IoT App's Journey to the Cloud: From localhost to PCF Dev and Pivotal Cloud Foundry - Beibei Yang
summary
An IoT dashboard is migrated from localhost to PCF Dev and Pivotal Web Services, proving the path works but requiring concrete changes: move from a fragile custom R buildpack (staging time >15 minutes, bulky dependencies, OpenMP/JDK failures) to the Python buildpack with an explicit requirements.txt and a Procfile, bind a Redis Cloud service, and open WebSocket traffic on port 4443 for PWS. The app polls every 15s, shows demo device values, and successfully runs on both PCF Dev and the PWS endpoint after those fixes.
