Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery
Our organization currently uses IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery for deploying the company's web applications. Basically this is taking the application's code, compile it and put it online in the web so all users can access it.
This process requires connecting to the code repository using a token, and executing some shell scripts to execute some tasks that include compiling each app, and assigning the domains where it will be finally deployed.

- Easy to use
- Deploy templates provided
- Known and documented command line cli (Cloud Foundry)
- Not reliable for mission critical software
- Very hard to debug deploying problems
- Terrible support timing
- Negative: Downtime of mission critical web applications
- Negative: Inhability to update web application version due to platform problems
- Negative: Slow deploy process, demanding developer's time on rethinking the compilation process (finally done not on IBM)
There's not really a technical background on the decision of using IBM Cloud Continuous delivery. Our CTO assisted to a conference where IBM was promoting their services and offering a free tier. As in that instance the company was starting, every free tier offering was well received, but there was no further research.
At the current time we are evaluating a platform change and waiting for GCP to install their server farm on our region.
