This is a sample application which to illustrate on how to create a service in PCF

Download cf cli using homebrew

$ brew install cloudfoundry/tap/cf-cli@7

Login to cloud foundry, here we will be using the public hosting cloud, in enterprise we would have different url

$ cf login -a api.run.pivotal.io

find the list of available spaces and a space from list or create a new one

$ cf spaces
$ cf target -s development

if you would like to create a new space

$ cf create-space demo-service
$ cf target -s demo-service

Pushing and testing the service on PCF

Now lets deploy the service to PCF

lets clone the application and build it

$ git clone https://github.com/Cedrusco/broker_service.git
$ cd broker_service
$ ./gradlew assemble

Pushing the application to PCF

Once the gradle assemble is complete, we are ready to push the application to pcf

$ cf push --random-route

The cf push would push the app from current directory to PCF and it would use manifest.yml The above command will assign a random route to the deployed application.

Listing deployed application

$ cf apps

once you run this command, you should see all the available apps deployed to the specific org and spaces

Invoking the deployed service

$ broker_url=$(cf app broker-service | grep routes: | awk '{print $2}')
$ curl warreng:natedogg@${broker_url}/v2/catalog

The above curl would return some data

{"services":[{"id":"30456","name":"broker-service-9434","description":"HaaSh - HashMap as a Service","bindable":true,"plans":[{"id":"21099","name":"basic","description":"Basic Plan"}],"metadata":{"displayName":"HaashBroker","imageUrl":"http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1plPyJdXKIY/mqdefault.jpg","longDescription":"Hash map as a service","documentationUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1plPyJdXKIY","supportUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1plPyJdXKIY"}}]}

Creating and Registering the Service

now lets target to different space

$ cf target -s demo-apps

To register the private broker into this space we use the new --space-scoped flag:

$ cf create-service-broker broker-service  \
  warreng natedogg https://${broker_url} \
  --space-scoped

List the services that are available for binding

$ cf marketplace

you should see your service available now

You can now create and bind service instances, and service keys:

$ cf create-service broker-service basic my-haash-db
cf create-service-key my-haash-db my-keys 
cf service-key my-haash-db my-keys
