Some apps can take a few moments to be fully up even after Cloudfoundry declared them "started" : database schema migrations, establishing connections to clients...
We had some reports of downtime because the venerable app was deleted when the new app was not fully "started" (even if Cloudfoundry was showing it started : it's not a bug in Cloudfoundry more like a practical issue on our side)
The workaround we have found is to add a preconfigured delay before killing the venerable app, and I think it can be useful to other in our case.
