Bluemix Cloud Auto Scaling Service Crashed our Running Watson App now - ibm-cloud

Our Watson app based on Dialogue Service was running this morning, and this app has many users. Then I saw your 2017 DevOps tutorials video on Youtube on using Auto Scaling Service to scale web apps on Bluemix. Then I connected our this Watson app with the Auto Scaling app. Then, right way, this watson app is crashed. So, I tried to unbind this Auto Scaling App from this Watson app, but it cannot be done. So, I had to delete this Auto Scaling Service from this Watson app.
After that, this Watson app cannot be started. Hope that Bluemix cloud team and Auto Scaling Service team reply here soon. If anybody also have got such horrible experiences with the Bluemix cloud Auto Scaling Service, I also like to hear some input from you. Thank you !

In the past week I have seen similar issues, and the culprit might be the auto-scaling service. The culprit might also be the new Diego deployment (as opposed to the old DEA droplets). Take a look at the Diego documentation. I have not had the time yet to fully debug this, but I went out and diabled Diego for my app and then attempted to redeploy. This allowed me to bring my app up successfully - now I still need to figure out WHY it has problems, since we will be forced to migrate to Diego at some point.

I would guess that the problem is not with the AutoScaling service. Cloud Foundry in Bluemix recently upgraded to the Diego architecture. Your application might need some changes to work with Diego. Binding any service to an applciation will trigger a restage which might have caused this update.
Currently, you can disable diego to see if this resolves your application crash.
$ cf disable-diego APPLICATION_NAME
$ cf start APPLICATION_NAME
Try this.
Then deploy your app under a new name and gather the logs cf logs APPLICATION_NAME --recent

Can't find Blockchain Cloud Foundry app

I followed the instructions on IoT Asset Tracking on a Hyperledger Blockchain . BUILD and DEPLOY finished successfully, but I can't find the composer-rest-server- app under Cloud Foundry Applications.
I can use the CF Blockchain services, enter the Monitor and open the Swagger UI. The question is, where can I find the application-specific APIs mentioned in the tutorial:
If everything deployed correctly, you can find the app in the IBM Cloud dashboard at https://console.bluemix.net. If you have many apps and services deployed, make sure to filter correctly or to be aware of paging.
If you suspect that something got wrong during build and deploy, go to the toolchain and check the logs. The toolchains can also be reached from the dashboard.

Refreshing Cloud Foundry app page on Bluemix "Stopped" the app

#ibm,
I observed the slowness while running the Cloud Foundry app on Bluemix. Sometimes, it gets really irritated so when I tried to refresh the app, it even stopped the app which was very frustrating. Could you please let us know the root cause of this and is there any way to avoid this in future ?
Refreshing the cloud Foundry page has nothing to do with crashing of your app. Could you please provide some more details like:
Functionality you are trying.
Deployment Approach.
Whether the application is Liberty Java, NodeJS or something else.
And lastly your application logs. If you cannot copy directly from the logs, you can use the Log Analysis Service to copy the logs.
NOTE: I should have added this as a comment but I am still 35 reputation short.

Bluemix Create App Error

Getting the below error while creating app on Bluemix dashboard, irrespective of using unique App names
BXNUI0005E: The 'MyFirstMobileAppTest' application could not be added.
See the Troubleshooting topics in the IBM Bluemix Documentation to
check service status, review troubleshooting information, or for
information about getting help.
I have been able to create a mobile application without any problems. This issue was most likely due a temporary outage.
If you experience this again, be sure check the Bluemix status page for any known issues and/or try again in a few minutes.

Unable to start Bluemix MobileFirst services starter app

I have created a MobileFirst starter app on the Bluemix platform. I am using the default code generated on an app creation. On app start, cf logs <appname> shows
ERR Instance (index 0) failed to start accepting connections
Is there any issue with the US-South region?
What could be causing this issue?
We are not aware of any ongoing issue in US South as you can see on the Bluemix Status Page. I've just tried to create a new application using the MobileFirst Services Starter (leaving all the default settings): I'm able to see the example "HelloTodo" page and there are no errors in the logs. I used both the Classic UI and the "New Experience" UI. I suggest you to try again, it should work.

What is the development workflow with IBM Bluemix and CloudFoundry?

I'm starting out with IBM Bluemix and CloudFoundry. Using the tutorial examples of the Node.js/Cloudant app I have a dev workflow that seems really slow. What is the best practice for development with cf?
Here's what I do now
Edit my files locally
cf push myapp
Wait for a long time for the app to deploy
Test and find an error
Repeat
If you are building a Node.js application, you can use Bluemix Live Sync to quickly update the application instance on Bluemix and develop as you would on the desktop without redeploying.
You can choose to download the bl cli to sync with a local directory using Desktop Sync, or set up your project on DevOps Services and edit the code directly in your browser using Live Edit. Look in the documentation for Bluemix Live Sync.
https://developer.ibm.com/devops-services/2015/02/13/everything-kitchen-sync-bluemix-live-sync/
If you are doing more intensive development, it would be faster for you to set up node locally and push to Bluemix periodically. You can still consume most Bluemix services locally.
If you have to rely on an architecture resident in Bluemix and you do not have the possibility to test on local you cannot avoid the "push" command and the workflow you described. Regarding point 3, you might have incurred in a platform issue announced at https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/support/#status.
