Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our web app required CD/CI integration, so IBM Cloud Foundry helped us to have user-friendly PaaS.

Overall IBM Cloud Foundryhelped us to improve the performance of Web application.

Likelihood to Recommend

When a company has a small app with lightweight packages, IBM Cloud Foundry is the best option for working ahead. For large packages or heavy applications, IBM Cloud Foundry generally gives throws StagingError or Timeout errors. It is very easy to learn all functionalities simultaneously with documentation. Blue-green deployment is a better option for the apps in IBM Cloud Foundry for avoiding prod downtime, but the routes can be still ghosting around, and only staging(timeout) fixed the routes.
