Cloud Foundry

What do you like best?

Seamless deployment of application on the cloudfoundry and its available in next seconds.

Its blue green deployment works seamlessly in context of continuous deployment (CI/CD). Its provided different integration connector helps developer to integrate quickly with other systems e.g: Jenkins via webhook.

Its platform as a service is also makes developer life easier to quick setup of account and deploy application instead of managing underlying setup.

What do you dislike?

Its provided Buildpacks does not supports every technologies such as JAVA EE (Jakarta EE) instead of that developer must have to create its own buildpack or just utlize plain JAVA to create webservices which is difficult to modernize the application code. There should be atleast an view for underline system operations for monitoring or evaluation of performance which is totally missing at the time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you want to do quick deployment without any infrastructure setup and if you have small development team then CloudFoundry Platform as a Service is the best and right choice to go. Its easy to learn and simple to implement.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

In the last months we experienced cloud foundry as an PAAS solution to our organization and gained many features out of the box such as managing application deployments, no low level configurations needed, auto load balancing etc. on the otherside there was also challanges for our legacy applications due to buildpacks provided by CF.
