Spring Tool Suite vs. Eclipse

• “The Spring Tool Suite is an Eclipse-based development environment that is customized for developing Spring applications.” [from https://spring.io/tools/sts]

Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse

• improved performance

• certain operations dramatically faster than in previous versions

• improved support for Spring Boot

• drag&drop deploy, no manual nature addition required anymore

• additional improvements under the hood

11


The Cloud Foundry Plugin for Eclipse is now a member of the Eclipse Cloud

Development top-level project

Cloud-native applications

13


The way we build software changes dramatically

14


Continuous Delivery DevOps

Containers

Microservices

15


Spring Boot and Spring Cloud for building, connecting, and operating microservices

16


Cloud Foundry the cloud-native runtime

17


But what does that mean for our tools?

18


most of the developer tools are built for the pre-pre-pre-cloud-native era

19


cloud-native tools

• deal with large number of small (independent) projects

• need to keep an overview (grouping, tagging, filtering)

• what is running/what not?

• where is it running?

• quick access to console and log output

• need quick access to running app

• projects get created more frequently

20


cloud-native tools

• need access to remote cloud-native runtime (like CF)

• deploy to (multiple) runtime(s)

• run and update services on cloud-native runtime

• use existing services and apps on cloud-native runtime

Future Directions

• Lattice support (http://lattice.cf/)

• integrate into boot dashboard

• seamless integration for running, deploying, updating, scaling micro-services

• console integration, support for debugging

• Enhance mixed local / cloud improvements

• https, CF-internal ngrok/tunnel technology, …

• Remote debugging CF apps

• via ssh instead of devtools tunnel, improve performance
