Ford Motor Company’s Cloud Native Reference Application - Todd Hall, For
summary
Ford builds a runnable cloud‑native reference application deployed to Pivotal Cloud Foundry that demonstrates real code, CI/CD pipelines, and deployable patterns so Java teams can move off WebSphere (400+ apps) faster. It uses Spring Boot, Spring Cloud primitives (Eureka service registry, circuit breaker, Config server backed by Git, Sleuth + Zipkin), Gradle builds, Flyway DB migration, UAA/OAuth plus a custom authorization engine, and a GitHub Enterprise repo with internal open‑source pull requests; the product is live and in use.
