ADF & 12 Factor Application for Cloud

[srinigenie]

Hi all,

 I am trying to write up a blog on the factors that ADF developers should consider to move their applications to the cloud. In the process, it was inevitable to evaluate the framework against https://12factor.net/.

So thought it to be a good discussion on this forum on below items:

1. Codebase – One codebase tracked in version control, many deploys
2. Dependencies – Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
3. Config – Store configuration in the environment, not in application
4. Backing Services – Treat backing services as attached resources
5. Build, Release, Run – Strictly separate build and run stages
6. Processes - Execute the app as one or more stateless processes
7. Port Binding – Export services via port binding
8. Concurrency – Scale out via the process model
9. Disposability – Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown
10. Dev/Prod Parity – Keep development, staging and production as similar as possible
11. Logs – Treat logs as event streams
12. Admin Processes – Run admin/management tasks as one-off processes

Please pitch in and I shall keep this thread updated with my views on each of these as well.
