The start of Kroger's Journey to Cloud Foundry
summary
Kroger describes a working internal Cloud Foundry pipeline that turns a greenlit project into code, ALM and running environments in about ten minutes, using a forked Spring Initializr, Stash, TeamCity, JIRA and Cloud Foundry. A single provisioning script (about 18 lines of code) creates app, MySQL and RabbitMQ and a CI build; blue/green deploys are live and zero‑downtime. Automation enforces infrastructure as code and a delete all script taught gaps and enables fast, repeatable teardown and reprovisioning.
