Additional Bluemix and Designer application development information

IBM® Domino® Designer is designed to work with IBM® Bluemix, the cloud-based application development environment to create XPages applications. This section of this guide's Bluemix/Designer information provides additional details on application development features not covered in the other Bluemix/Designer related sections.

Bluemix is an implementation of IBM's Open Cloud Architecture, based on Cloud Foundry, that lets you create, deploy, and manage your cloud applications. Because Bluemix is based on Cloud Foundry, you can use a varied collection of runtime frameworks and services - which now include a runtime and service that takes advantage of XPages technology and works with Domino® Designer.

Bluemix provides a dashboard for you to create, view, and manage your cloud-based XPages applications and services as well as monitor your application's resource usage. The Bluemix dashboard also provides the ability to manage organizations, spaces, and user access.
