Open Service Broker 101: That Extra Something
summary
Explains how the Open Service Broker API actually maps lifecycle calls — create service instance, bind, unbind, delete — to concrete actions (spin VMs, run SQL, create DB users) and how a Java framework removes most boilerplate so implementers only provide the service-specific bits (SQL and deployment recipes). Covers service key options (temporary public endpoint vs CF SSH tunnel), multi-region sharing strategies (per-site brokers, central broker, or hard distributed syncing), operational pitfalls (multi-tenancy, capacity, sessions, backups, upgrades) and the need for contract tests.
