Summary

In this chapter, we discussed what microservices are. We also talked about worker applications and implemented and deployed an application onto PCF Dev.

We discussed how to instruct Cloud Foundry to not create routes for the worker application using the --no-route option during the application push and the various health check types that Cloud Foundry uses to monitor an application. In our worker example, we used --health-check-type=process.

We learned about the resiliency that the Cloud Foundry platform provides, and discussed how the application can be made to be resilient using the Config Server, Service Registry, and Hystrix dashboard services provided by the Pivotal Cloud Foundry platform.
