Thinking Outside the Container: Running Standalone Apps on Cloud Foundry
summary
Cloud Foundry’s Standalone support runs non‑WAR Java/Scala services — the demo pushes 11 pushes of examples and uses vmc push and the STS plugin, Gradle/SBT assemblies, redis, RabbitMQ, MySQL and the cloudfoundry runtime lib. Built apps include a vert.x + sockjs echo server, an embedded‑Jetty unfiltered app, Akka remote actors that register hosts in redis, a spring integration system over Rabbit with persistent store, and a Spring Batch worker that processes ~700 tweets into MySQL. Demos mostly succeed after packaging hiccups; one shipping log doesn’t surface but overall runs.
