Lesson 5: Server-side Code Hosting Within an answerSpace
- Sam Stephens (Unlicensed)
- Aaron Roworth
Lesson Objective:
With many live production projects – both large and small – currently using the CMS BIC / answerSpace based system, as a developer on the BlinkMobile platform from time to time you'll be called upon to update and maintain existing projects.
This lesson will walk you through the basics of the Interaction Manager to host server-side code (web APIs) within an answerSpace.
By the end of this lesson you will have learned how to host server side code within an answerSpace, either via the Interaction Manager or the BMP CLI.
While you're maintaining an existing project, consider which parts of the new platform and micro-services can be included. Remember, it's not an all-or-nothing selection, and you may find a lot of handy new services you can use in your existing project.
