CF example app: ping-pong matching server

This is an app to match ping-pong players with each other. It's currently an API only, so you have to use curl to interact with it.

It has an acceptance test suite you might like to look at.

Running on Pivotal Web Services

Log in.

cf login -a https://api.run.pivotal.io

Target your org / space.

cf target -o myorg -s myspace

Sign up for a rediscloud instance.

cf create-service rediscloud 25mb baby-redis

Build the app.

./gradlew distZip

Push the app. Its manifest assumes you called your Redis instance 'baby-redis'.

cf push -n mysubdomain

Export the test host

export HOST=http://mysubdomain.cfapps.io

Now follow the interaction instructions.

Running locally

The following assumes you have a working, recent version of Groovy.

Install and start redis:

brew install redis
redis-server

In another terminal, start the application server:

./gradlew run

Export the test host

export HOST=http://localhost:3000

Now follow the interaction instructions.
