Path to Production:

Over the last few years, we’ve seen some staggering deployment numbers from large organizations that have made the shift to delivering and operating their applications on a platform. Companies like Allstate, for example, have deployed applications to production using Cloud Foundry 11,500 times in 2017. Liberty Mutual performs 2,500 daily builds and 1000 production deployments per day. Finally, T-Mobile has reduced the time and effort to deliver software to production from 7 months and 72 steps to a few days. How did these organizations transform to achieve this speed and volume for delivering applications to production? They leveraged Value Stream Mapping (VSM). Value stream mapping is an essential tool in understanding how business organizations deliver software value to customers. It calculates the most important metric in business today, time-to-value. In this session, we will discuss the ideas and concepts of value stream mapping and how it's been applied to software delivery and DevOps to achieve these incredible results while maintaining security and financial control.

Monitoring Production Level Apps in Cloud Foundry Using New Relic:

We are going to dive deep into getting New Relic APM (Application Performance Monitoring) running on Cloud Foundry. Our vehicle will be a sample Java application that we will install and ensure it is reporting data into New Relic while running on Cloud Foundry. Once we have it working, we will update the configuration, add some custom instrumentation, re-deploy those changes, and view the updates in Cloud Foundry and New Relic. And why is this important? It is important because all production applications need language-specific application and code level monitoring to complete what Cloud Foundry already provides.
