Deploy an App to SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry runtime

To deploy your sample application on SAP BTP, create a zip file that contains the necessary files.

1. Open the folder cf-sample-app-nodejs-main which contains your sample app.
2. Select the entire contents of this folder – all folders & files – and add them to a new hello-nodejs.zip file (if you’re on macOS, you can use the “Compress” feature and then change the filename from Archive.zip to hello-nodejs.zip).

Be sure not to include the containing folder in the zip file – you must explicitly select only the contents of the cf-sample-app-nodejs-main folder and not that folder itself.

In the SAP BTP cockpit, go to the Cloud Foundry dev space of your trial account.

Make sure that the Applications tab is selected in the navigation menu.

1. Choose Deploy Application.

   

2. Choose Browse to select the hello-nodejs.zip file you created earlier.

3. Enable Use Manifest.

4. Choose Browse to select the manifest.yml file (the one that you edited in the previous tutorial) in the same folder.

1. Choose Deploy.

The application is deployed to SAP BTP and starts automatically. It appears in the list of applications and the status will turn green if the application starts without problem.

1. Choose the application from the list of applications by clicking on its name.

   The application overview opens.

2. In the Application Routes section, choose the URL to open the application you’ve just deployed.

   

   A new tab opens that displays the app information.

   

At this stage, you have your sample app deployed and running in Cloud Foundry on SAP BTP. Well done!
