SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deploying BoxLang applications across multiple runtimes (CommandBox, Docker, AWS Lambda, Spring Boot) requires coordinating tools, configurations, and environments. This skill provides a unified approach to cross-runtime deployment, reducing setup time and complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CommandBox server setup and management guidelines for traditional servers.
  • Docker containerization, AWS Lambda, and serverless deployment patterns.
  • BoxLang Version Manager (BVM) integration and runtime configuration via boxlang.json.
  • Environment variable handling and CI/CD integration (GitHub Actions) workflows.
  • Spring Boot integration and runtime embedding patterns for BoxLang.

Quick Start

Install CommandBox and BoxLang Version Manager (BVM), configure server.json and boxlang.json for your project, then deploy to your chosen runtimes (Docker, AWS Lambda, Spring Boot, or traditional servers).

Frequently Asked Questions about boxlang-deployment

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy BoxLang applications to AWS Lambda?

Deploying BoxLang to AWS Lambda uses serverless deployment patterns by configuring runtime settings and environment variables. You orchestrate the deployment through GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows and boxlang.json configurations.

Can I run BoxLang inside a Spring Boot application?

Yes, Spring Boot integration supports embedding BoxLang runtimes directly within Java applications. You configure the embedded runtime using boxlang.json and manage environment variables to align with your Spring Boot deployment lifecycle.

What do I need to install before setting up a BoxLang deployment?

Before deploying BoxLang, you need to install JRE 21+, CommandBox, and the BoxLang Version Manager (BVM). These tools enable you to configure server.json and boxlang.json for your chosen runtimes.

What is the best way to containerize BoxLang apps with Docker?

The best way to containerize BoxLang apps with Docker is by applying Docker containerization patterns orchestrated through CommandBox. You define runtime configurations in boxlang.json and manage environment variables within your Dockerfile and CI/CD workflows.

How do I configure environment variables for BoxLang across different runtimes?

Configuring environment variables for BoxLang across runtimes is handled centrally through boxlang.json. This configuration applies consistently whether you deploy to CommandBox servers, Docker containers, AWS Lambda, or Spring Boot environments.

Does BoxLang deployment support GitHub Actions for CI/CD?

Yes, BoxLang deployment supports GitHub Actions for CI/CD workflows. You define deployment steps for Docker, AWS Lambda, or traditional servers directly within your GitHub Actions pipeline to automate cross-runtime releases.
