This repository accompanies the IBM developerWorks article. It's built with PHP, Slim 3.x and Bootstrap. It uses various services, including Bluemix Object Storage and Searchly.

• Clone the repository to your local system.
• Run composer update to install all dependencies.
• Create settings.php with credentials for the various services. Use settings.php.sample as an example.
• Create an empty index named cvs in your Searchly instance.
• Create an empty container named cvs in your Object Storage instance.
• Define a virtual host pointing to the public directory, as described in the article.

To deploy this application to your Bluemix space:
