It's well suited if:
- The organization has large number of applications that needs to be deployed frequently.
- The organization is tied to the DevOps mindset.
- The organization has programs in different languages.
- The applications does not need EJB's support that servers like web logic provide.
- The applications needs security configuration within the same CloudFoundry instance.
- The organization, for whatever reason does not want developers to manage the instances.

We use Salesforce Lightning Platform in everyday business as sales coordinators. By using this tool, we are able to send new requests to clients and communicate regarding pending proposals in real-time. This also tool holds many of our client accounts where we are able to monitor their sales and revenue.

- Support for Orgs and Spaces that allow for managing users and deployables within a large organization.
- Easy deployment, deploying code is as simple as executing single line from CLI, thanks to build-packs.
- Solid and rich CLI, that allows for various operations on the instance.
- Isolated Virtual Machines called Droplets, that provide clean run time environment for the code. This used to be a problem with Weblogic and other application servers, where multiple applications are run on the same cluster and they share resources.
- SSH capability for the droplet (isolated VM's are called droplets), that allows for real time viewing of the App code while the application is running.
- Support for multiple languages, thanks to build-packs.
- Support for horizontal scaling, scaling an instance horizontally is a breeze.
- Support for configuring environment variable using the service bindings.
- Supports memory and disk space limit allocation for individual applications.
- Supports API's as well as workers (processes without endpoints)
- Supports blue-green deployment with minimal down time

- Reporting and Dashboards are thorough and can show a wealth of important data to inform and scale processes. It's helpful in a high volume sales cycle to be able to quickly identify weak points in performance and productivity so that adjustments can be made.
- Highly customizable. We are able to customize just about everything which allows us to track very specific things and in theory create better efficiency.
- Parent/Child account hierarchy exists which is helpful.
- Contact records can be associated with multiple accounts and opportunities. This, in theory, should minimize duplicates and mismanagement of contacts.
- Console helps a lot with data nesting. Having a fairly comprehensive look at an account without searching through various tabs and sections speeds up an otherwise cumbersome platform.

Cons
CloudFoundry
- Does not support stateful containers and that would be a nice to have.
- Supports showing logs, but does not persist the logs anywhere. This makes relying on Cloud Foundry's logs very unreliable. The logs have to be persisted using other third party tools like Elk and Kibana.

- Can be cumbersome: takes multiple clicks to get where you need to go
- Lightning is slower than original Salesforce, and it is very noticeable
- The UI change means sometimes I can't find what I need, so I have to switch back to the Classic version to find it

This builds off a number of things I have already mentioned. This question completely depends on the competence of the developer. This makes the user friendliness of the UI 50/50. However if you have the ability I would say it is quite UI friendly.

Salesforce's support is top-notch. They have subject-matter experts that are accessible at all times to address needs as they come up. They let you know in advance when there are system updates and enhancements so that you are prepared for upcoming changes. I've never had an issue that wasn't addressed immediately when reaching out for support.

CloudFoundry
While Docker shines in providing support for volumes and stateful instances, Cloud foundry shines in providing support for deploying stateless services.Heroku shines in integrating with Git and using commits to git as hooks to trigger deployments right from the command line. But it does not provide on-premise solution that Cloud foundry provides.

We were previously using an older version prior to it becoming Salesforce Lightning Platform so we were well adverse on the advantages of using a CRM, to begin with. It made sense to convert to Salesforce Lightning Platform after we were given a free trial of the platform. Certain reps were chosen to experiment with it and from there a decision was made to move forward. We've been customers ever since.

Return on Investment
CloudFoundry
- Positive impact, since it simplifies the deployment time by a huge margin. Without cloud foundry, deploying a code needs coordination with infrastructure teams, while with cloud foundry, its a simple one line command. This reduces the deployment time from at least few hours to few minutes. Faster deployments promote faster dev cycle iterations.
- Code maintenance such as upgrading a Node or Java version is as simple as updating the build-pack. Without cloud foundry, using web logic, the specific version only supports a specific version of Java. So updating the version involves upgrading the version of web logic that needs to involve few teams. So without cloud foundry, it takes at least few days, with cloud foundry, its a matter of few mins.
- Overall, happier Developers and thats harder to quantify.

- More efficient use of Sales Reps time.
- Sales Managers have good visibility into how their people are working.
