Cloud Foundry Deep Dive, Part 3: Enabling Continuous Delivery

One of the great features of a PaaS platform like Cloud Foundry is the simplicity that it brings to the deployment. This simplicity aids us in creating powerful continuous delivery pipelines, which allow us to prove our ability to deliver working software at any time. In this session will examine specifically how to leverage Cloud Foundry as part of such a pipeline, looking at tools and techniques such as:

  • Integration with Maven and Gradle
  • Integration with Jenkins
  • Deep-dive into Cloud Foundry application manifests
  • Zero downtime deployments
  • Integrating micro services architectures and environment-specific configurations using user-provided services
  • Orchestrating the Cloud Controller using the REST API and Java Client Library
  • Building a “check-in to continuous deployment” pipeline

About Matt Stine

My passion is taking a metaphysical approach to software engineering: what is the nature of the collaborative game that we continuously play, and are there better, more contextually-aware ways to play that game?

By day I lead a team tasked with taking a first-principles-centric approach to intentionally enabling programming language usage at the largest bank in the United States.

By night I write and teach my way through a masterclass in software engineering and architecture targeting early-career software engineers working in large-scale enterprise technology organizations.

What is the primary goal?

To win the game. More seriously: to get 1% better every day at providing business value through software.

Who am I?

I'm a 22-year veteran of the enterprise software industry. I've played almost every role I can imagine:

  • Software Engineer
  • Software Architect
  • Technical Lead
  • Engineering Manager
  • Consultant
  • Product Manager
  • Field CTO
  • Developer Advocate
  • Conference Speaker
  • Author
  • Technical Trainer
  • Technical Marketer
  • Site Reliability Engineer
  • Desktop Support Specialist

I've worked at Fortune 500 companies, a tenacious teal cloud startup, and a not-for-profit children's hospital. I've written a book, and I've hosted a podcast. I've learned a lot along the way, including many things I wish I'd known when I first got started. And so now I want to pass those learnings on to you, especially if you've only just begun your career.
