Provider Documentation

Page last updated:

Integrating With Cloud Foundry

Pivotal has partnered with AppDirect for marketplace services on Pivotal Web Services, Pivotal’s public Cloud Foundry instance.

Documentation

Service providers can manage their own documentation. Fork the docs-pws-services GitHub repository and issue pull requests to update your Marketplace Services documentation page.

Your documentation page should reside at marketplace/services/YOURSERVICE.html.md.erb, where YOURSERVICE is the name of your service.

The Provider Documentation Template exists to help you get started. When using this template, include the Managing Services and Support sections with links. If your service is bindable, you should also include the Environment Variables section.

Sample Apps

Sample apps that work out-of-the box can provide an excellent user experience. With a sample app, developers can validate that your service works as expected. Your sample app should provide a code example that shows how to integrate an application with your service.

Pivotal recommends publishing your sample application in one of two ways:

• You can provide your sample app in your own GitHub repository, and we can include it in the https://github.com/cloudfoundry-samples GitHub repository.
• You can send us the code for your app and we can add it directly to the https://github.com/cloudfoundry-samples GitHub repository.
