Summary

In this chapter, we briefly revisited the concepts of services and how they are bound to applications. We then introduced user-provided services, service brokers, and route services. By now, you will be able to implement your own service brokers and route services. We also looked at understanding the different strategies for deploying service brokers and route services. The implications of different approaches to route services were particularly important, as they may affect incoming requests for all of the applications on your Cloud Foundry foundation. Finally, we briefly discussed integration strategies for your services. In the next chapter, we'll look into Buildpacks and how to create your own on Cloud Foundry!
