Vetted Review
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Foundry
We have several clients with whom we have used it. We have it in production for both the front and back ends of our implementation. We have it running to serve a web app that is used as a call taking management system. We have it running to serve an application that is used for inventory management, tracking, and purchasing.
- It is straightforward to deploy an application from the command line.
- It is straightforward via YAML files to change the specification of what you are deploying.
- Increasing the nodes supporting your app is easy.
- Autoscaling is a HUGE pain and not easy.
- The reliability is horrible.
- The connection between other IBM services works, but is not very good eg. Cloud object store, cloud functions, etc.
- We have had many production outages.
- We have wasted an ungodly amount of time trying to deploy our UI and have had to change our entire deployment strategy as a result.
- Our clients have wasted 10's of 1000's of dollars on services that just failed and failed with no good reason.
We have had to move our deployments to Kubernetes because we needed more reliability. We moved to Google because IBM rates and billing was so backward and expensive. Our client was also very angry at all the outages, lost revenue, production down time and inordinately expensive costs that all the outages cost them.
