CF is easy to adopt to, but difficult to extend
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Foundry
IBM Cloud Foundry is used on IBM Cloud for applications across the organization.
- Easy to use
- Bind services (catalog)
- Not easily extendable
- Lacks in observability
- No environment set up, easier for teams to move to cloud than request for environments.
- Catalog services makes it easier as we don't need to provision any services.
- Issues with patching
We have a minimum number of instances which is 3. If any app instances go down, automatically a new instance is spun up. However, it's difficult to get thread dumps etc., for analysis of the failed instance.
We use Java and NodeJS primarily; it's easier to use those buildpacks.
