The Open Service Broker API project allows developers, ISVs, and SaaS vendors a single, simple, and elegant way to deliver services to applications running within cloud native platforms. To build a Service Broker, you must implement the required endpoints as defined in the API specification.
This getting started guide contains some useful links, libraries and example implementations to help you get started as quickly as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to join the Weekly Call where the community will be happy to help.
If you would like to add additional information, implementations or libraries to this guide, please open a Pull Request.
Please note that the Open Service Broker API community does not make any statement as to the validity, stability or compliance of any projects or tools linked to in this guide.
The Cloud Controller component in Cloud Foundry is responsible for registering Service Brokers and interacting with them on behalf of users. To deploy Cloud Foundry, please follow the deployment guide for the cf-deployment project.
The Service Catalog project is responsible for integrating Service Brokers to the Kubernetes ecosystem. The project has its own Special Interest Group (SIG) and can be deployed by following this walkthrough guide.
osb-starter-pack:
A go project that lets you easily deploy and iterate on a new service broker.
Uses the osb-broker-lib and
go-open-service-broker-client
projects.

implement an interface that uses the types from the
go-open-service-broker-client.
Open Service Broker API for .NET:
.NET libraries for client and server implementations of the Open Service Broker API. The client library allows you to call Service Brokers that implement the API using idiomatic C# interfaces and type-safe DTOs. The server library implements the API for you using ASP.NET Core. You simply need to provide implementations for a few interfaces, shielded from the HTTP-related details.
