Steeltoe .NET Open Source Software

         

Why Steeltoe?

Steeltoe provides building blocks for development of .NET applications that integrate with Spring and Spring Boot environments, as well as Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes with first-party support for Tanzu.

Key features include:

• External (optionally encrypted) configuration using Spring Cloud Config Server
• Service discovery with Netflix Eureka and HashiCorp Consul
• Management endpoints (compatible with actuators), providing system info (such as versions, configuration, service container contents, mapped routes and HTTP traffic), heap/thread dumps, health checks, exporting metrics to Prometheus, and changing log levels at runtime.
• Connectivity to databases (such as SQL Server/Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, and MySQL), including support for Entity Framework Core
• Single sign-on, JWT and Certificate auth with Cloud Foundry

Getting Started

In addition to the feature documentation, we have built several tools to help you get started:

• Steeltoe Initializr - Pick and choose what type of application you would like to build and let us generate the initial project for you
  • Initializr uses .NET templates that can also be used from the dotnet CLI and inside of Visual Studio
• Steeltoe Samples - Here we have working samples for trying out features and to use as code references
