CF “Holiday” Push – How DSG Onboarded Over 40 Teams in 7 Months
summary
Seven engineers with no PCF experience build and automate seven PCF foundations in seven months and onboard over 40 product teams, using Vault, Concourse, BOSH, Loggregator, PCF Metrics and HealthWatch, and AD-driven provisioning scripts. Autoscaling and canary BOSH upgrades enable live platform upgrades; a logging gap and a few mis-sized components get fixed mid-holiday. The platform sustains 1,000+ orders per minute with zero customer impact, drives operational savings, and surfaces lessons: automate onboarding and run chaos/fire drills and plan earlier.
