Deployments We Can Believe In
summary
An internal platform migrates enterprise apps onto Cloud Foundry running on AWS using boss for deployments and Spearfish to manage YAML manifests. Pilot runs five months with ~100 app instances and ~50 users; production apps and real traffic land on it. User management, server utilization, and developer productivity improve dramatically; Authority to Operate time drops from ~12 months to 2–3 days. Multi-language support, stemcells and per-job review enable safer, repeatable deployments that actually work.
