Beyond CF Push - Managing Large Microservice Applications like a BOSH
summary
Describes a Cloud Foundry Deployment Toolkit developed with ZHAW to manage large, multi-component microservice applications (60+ apps, 30+ services) for dorma+kaba’s Exivo platform. The toolkit applies BOSH concepts—separating application structure from deployment configuration, comparing desired vs actual state, and running workflows to compute minimal zero-downtime updates and handle complex operations like data-store migrations—resulting in more flexible, reliable deployments and cutting deployment time by over half.
