Adopting PCF At An Automobile Manufacturer - Gregor Zurowski, Thomas Seibert (Mercedes-Benz)
summary
Mercedes builds a microservice platform on Pivotal Cloud Foundry using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud and Spring Cloud Services, a Netflix Zuul API gateway, Eureka registry and a config server; teams get isolated PCF orgs/spaces and a shared-services space for global components. They deploy separate apps per major version (semver), run three CF foundations (dev/test, integ/pre-prod, prod), roll out 20 countries in under five months with zero critical incidents, shorten integration ramp from ~30 days to 2–3 days, and run multiple daily production deploys via a custom zero-downtime process.
