Next steps in the Cloud Foundry API and why...
summary
Cloud Controller splits the monolithic app into top-level packages, droplets and processes so staging and running are independent, enabling staging without touching running instances and simple rollbacks by reassigning droplets. API moves to HAL-style JSON with link-driven navigation and explicit start/stop/scale endpoints that encapsulate restart and scaling semantics. Server code abandons model-controller meta magic for isolated fetcher objects and action objects, trading more code for no unintended database queries, easier testing and a cleaner path toward zero downtime deploys.
