Case Study: VMware achieves high-quality, collaborative open source development with Cloud Foundry

VMware speeds contributor onboarding with Cloud Foundry’s 6-week Dojo model

The customer VMware collaborated with the vendor Cloud Foundry to address the challenge of creating and maintaining a high-quality, multi-cloud application platform through open source development. The goal was to foster large-scale collaboration among many enterprise companies on a complex product.

The solution implemented by Cloud Foundry was a unique set of deeply thought-out engineering practices. This included a rigorous contributor onboarding process via a six-week Dojo program and a core practice of pair programming, where all code is written by two developers together. Cloud Foundry's well-defined processes resulted in greatly improved code quality, higher developer morale, and ultra-high velocity, creating a confident group of developers focused on producing a robust platform.
