Deploying a Secure Play Framework Application to IBM Bluemix
This tutorial walks through the step‑by‑step process of deploying a Play Framework web application with user authentication to IBM Bluemix using the Cloud Foundry Java buildpack, including configuration of MongoDB storage and SendGrid email services, and demonstrates how to secure and run the app in the cloud.
Follow easy steps to deploy a secure Play Framework application to IBM Bluemix.
In the first tutorial of this two‑part series, you built a Play Framework app that provides user management and authentication features such as email sign‑up, password reset, social login (e.g., Twitter) and account merging, intended as a starter for your own projects.
Play applications are Java binaries packaged as ZIP or TAR files, which can be deployed to Bluemix with minimal effort using Cloud Foundry’s Java buildpack. The tutorial also shows how to configure the Compose MongoDB service for data storage and the SendGrid service for email delivery.
Conclusion
The Play Framework and its reactive programming model are gaining popularity. This tutorial demonstrated how to deploy, secure, and run a non‑trivial Play application on Bluemix via the Cloud Foundry Java buildpack, and invites readers to share their Bluemix and Play experiences.
