The Cloud Foundry team has been working to make its Platform-as-a-Service platform more user-friendly and recently published a blog post about using New Relic for monitoring cloud-based applications. The deployment model of Cloud Foundry is based on buildpacks, which are stacks of software that applications can take advantage of and depend on. For Java applications, the Java buildpack includes the New Relic agent automatically, making it easy to provision and bind New Relic to applications in just a few commands or clicks. The team emphasizes the importance of separating production, testing, and development environments, allowing users to gain unique insights into their application's performance and behavior across all three environments. The blog post provides more details on using New Relic with Cloud Foundry, while a short video demo showcases the ease of deployment and setup.
