Case Study: CloudBees achieves continuous cloud deployment for Spring apps with Cloud Foundry and Jenkins

CloudBees deploys Spring apps to Cloud Foundry with 66% more Jenkins installations

CloudBees, a software company, sought to implement a continuous integration and delivery pipeline for their Spring Framework applications to increase developer productivity and reduce release cycle times. Their challenge was to create a fully automated environment for building, testing, and deploying applications directly to the Cloud Foundry platform as a service.

The vendor, Cloud Foundry, provided a solution integrated with the CloudBees DEV@cloud service. Using Jenkins for continuous integration, the setup automated the entire process from code commit to deployment on Cloud Foundry.com. This integration established a secure link between accounts via OAuth 2.0 and utilized pre-configured ClickStarts for easy setup. The result was a complete, cloud-based continuous delivery environment that automatically built, tested, and deployed applications upon every code change, eliminating the need for manual infrastructure management and ensuring developers always had sufficient build capacity.
