Node.js x MongoDB example application

We wrote a small example application to test deploying Node.js applications on anynines.

Run locally

Adjust the database connection credentials in the set_dev_environment.sh file and source it's contents. This is needed to insert the VCAP_SERVICES json hash into the application shell's environment. This simulates the process of anynines app containers.

source set_dev_environment.sh

Deploy your app on anynines
