Articulate

A sample application built with Spring Boot that demonstrates capabilities of Cloud Foundry.

To run the application locally

$ ./mvnw spring-boot:run

Then go to the http://localhost:8080 in your browser. The application uses an embedded H2 database when running in this mode.

To run on Cloud Foundry

$ ./mvnw package
$ cf push

When a MySQL database is bound to this application, the application will use the MySQL database instead of the embedded H2 database.
