The document is a workshop overview on developing cloud native applications for Cloud Foundry using Spring Cloud, presented by Corneil du Plessis. It covers topics such as Cloud Foundry command-line, application connectivity to databases and message queues, scaling applications, and utilizing buildpacks. Additionally, it includes essential practices like the 12 factors of app development and provides resources for further learning.

8. The 12 Factors
https://12factor.net
1. One Codebase in revision control
2. Dependencies must be explicit
3. Config in environment
4. Backing services as attached resources
5. Build, release, run as separate stages
6. One or more stateless processes
7. Export services via port binding
8. Concurrency in Process over threads
9. Disposable with quick startup and graceful shutdown.
10. Keep development/test/production in parity
11. Treat logs as event streams
12. Admin/management tasks as one-off processes

9. Cloud Foundry command-line
• cf login
• cf push
• cf marketplace
• cf create-service
• cf bind-service
• cf scale
• cf restart
• Many Plugins
• Authenticate Operator
• Deploy Application
• List services
• Create / Provision a service
• Bind service to application
• Scale application
• Restart the application

11. Your first Application

12. View Logs and Invoke

13. Connecting to Database
• Create Spring Data Repository.
• Update EventServiceImpl to use the repository.
• Add @Configuration extending AbstractCloudConfig to
provide @Bean of type DataSource.
• Add @Transactional to Controller to preserve the Stream

14. Provision PostgreSQL and Deploy

15. Connecting to Message Queues
• Create @Bean for RabbitMQ ConnectionFactory by extending
AbstractCloudConfig.
• Create @Bean for Queue.
• Implement listener method with @RabbitListener that saves
Event using repository.
• Modify createEvent to send event to message queue using
AmqpTemplate.

16. Provision RabbitMQ and Deploy

17. Scaling your application

18. Application Discovery
• @EnableDiscoveryClient
• Access resources:
• https://<target-name>/
• OpenFeign Client

19. Cloud Foundry Plugins
• Maven Push
https://github.com/fitzoh/maven-push-plugin
• Java
https://github.com/SAP/cf-cli-java-plugin
• Spring Cloud Services
https://github.com/pivotal-cf/spring-cloud-services-cli-plugin
• Spring Cloud Data Flow for PCF
