Xigadee is a Microservice framework, developed by Paul Stancer and Guy Steel at Hitachi Consulting. The framework is based on our experience and the knowledge gained, in building large-scale distributed cloud applications for our clients over the past four years.
The libraries are built using Microsoft .NET technologies, and provide a simple and consistent approach when constructing a Microservice-based solution, specifically when targeting Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technologies in the Azure technology stack.
Xigadee is now open-source; released under the Apache 2 license. You are free to use it within your own commercial applications without restriction.
If you are new to Microservice development, then the following links gives you an overview of Microservices and how to compose a Microservice based application.
Or if you want a quick introduction on how to build a new Microservice application using the Xigadee libraries, then read the following:
Xigadee is made up of a number of distinct NuGet packages, which are listed below. They support different areas of Microservice functionality. These capabilities can be added to your project through the relevant NuGet packages. Currently Xigadee is in a pre-release state, but we are working to complete the documentation, and improve the code test coverage, so that we can provide a base line set of releases.
