Review on Hoodie by Angelo Forrest

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Hoodie is a solid and feature-rich tool for microservices deployment!

It's easy to use, well documented and it supports both AngularJS and React JS framework out of the box! Deploying microservices with this tool was very straightforward. I had been using Spring Boot along time but never considered replacing my entire stack because every single thing worked fine together in that scenario as well. The most useful feature about hoodies would be its built-in support for Gitlab CI/CD which helped me set up continuous integration system within minutes by just copying some configuration files from GITLAB instance into HOODIE_HOME environment variable. You can also deploy your apps directly through Github Actions if you are not comfortable writing scripts or don't want too many dependencies like nodejs etc installed locally. We used it primarily to build REST APIs over HTTP2 protocol instead of SOAP due to performance gain we achieved while deploying our services via git push command without any other manual steps.
