Service Fabrik – Manage Enterprise-Grade Backing Services for an Enterprise-Grade Cloud Foundry
summary
Service Fabrik provisions, operates and monitors backing services for Cloud Foundry by deploying either BOSH releases or Docker containers, creating dev single-node Docker instances and production clusters (typically 5–7 VMs) under BOSH. It injects a service agent per VM, enforces disk quotas with a custom logical-volume driver, pushes metrics to Grafana/Influx/Riemann and logs to ELK, and stores backups on S3/Swift as incremental snapshots. Onboarding needs a BOSH release plus an EJS and ERB template; the demo shows hundreds of containers and hundreds of backups (Postgres ~500, MongoDB ~60).
