I like to practice extreme-mobile-first-cloud-native-development! For serveral years I have leaned in on 12-factor (https://12factor.net/) and preferably 15-factor (https://tanzu.vmware.com/content/blog/beyond-the-twelve-factor-app) applications. I'm new to COBOL, so I don't yet understand the "conventions" across the ecosystem. What I would like to do, is create an example of a 12-factor COBOL applicaiton, that can be deployed easily to Cloud Foundry AND Kubernetes. I'm at the point in my life where...

Fixed. Thanks.

I did something very similar, just getting started. It's "hello world" level at the moment. I started with 3.1-dev, and I pull the tar bar from upstream when I create the buildpack. Write cobol into main.cob (https://github.com/dashaun/cobol-hello-world) Use buildpack to generate image (https://github.com/dashaun/cobol-buildpack) I feel like we are on the same track. I'm trying to figure out an acceptable set of conventions in order to keep moving forward.

This was just proof of concept, but I would really appreciate feedback. I've created a cloud native buildpack (https://buildpacks.io) and the repository is here: https://github.com/dashaun/cobol-buildpack/ After looking at the contributions, my imposter-syndrome flared up. But I do think that the things that I have done belong here. I do plan to continue to develop around the cobol-buildpack. So I am interested.

I'm using GnuCOBOL and have created some tooling around version 3.1-dev. I'm about to push what I have done to GitHub. I want to know what is the preferred URL to use for references. I figured it was one of these, but want to be sure: https://sourceforge.net/projects/open-cobol/ https://open-cobol.sourceforge.io/
