Include a prerequisites checklist at the start of documents

There is an assumption in docs that the IBM/BlueMix environment is set-up & understood. As a newcommer to the IBM environment, but not unfamiliar with development generally, I notice that docs generally 'assume' the user environment & fami...

Please add Memory size on Tiles on Dashboard

If you are running low on memory, the user could use this information to figure out which of their 30 applications is running that could provide back much needed memory. Otherwise, you kind of have to drill into each app. Another option would be t...

Pricing Info on the Home Page

There is no mention of pricing structure on the main console page. Since this is an IBM service, people often expect it to be contract-based and/or enterprise-level cost. The fact that we have a free tier and support a PayGo model is great and we ...

There are alot of UI elements that are independently loading within the dashboard (I've counted at a least 10+ spinners at once) Frankly, many of items ultimately loading are simply noise to my immediate needs (e.g. Containers with 0/2 public IPs,...

Improve documentation for platform and services to include information on High Availability and Backup

I really like the documentation layout for the various services and offerings in Bluemix. However, it would be good if there was a section in each giving useful information when consuming the service in production, or even just designing for produ...

Please add better documentation on how to create and use search indexes. It's very difficult to figure out using the existing documentation.

The documentation to setup and use a search index in Cloudant is very hard to understand. It would be ideal to provide more use case code examples in the documentation.
