plybuild
A power tool for development on the Java Platform
- Starting point for microservice-based application development
- Simplifies maintaining code templates for efficient collaboration
- Provides dependency status and automates project dependency upgrades
Starting Point for Microservices
Discover the ideal launchpad for your microservice-based projects. Plybuild offers a robust foundation to kickstart your development process, providing essential resources and structures tailored for microservice architecture.
The heart of plybuild is the examples, simply run the following command to get a new microservice running:
ply build example --name rest-service
The ply.json defines the project and accepts
a list of dependencies,
identical to the input used by Spring Initializr. Default upstream is
Spring Initializr and the starting shell for the application is generated by https://start.spring.io.
Moreover, the templates element
can be employed, defined within the cloud-config repository.
Simplified Template Maintenance
Plybuild’s core strength resides in crafting tailored templates unique to your organization. Unlike templates that is based on rendering, these templates are executable code, enabling effortless maintenance directly within your IDE.
Recognizing that developers may be affiliated with multiple organizations plybuild introduces the concept of profiles:
ply profile --use mybusiness
In this context, the plybuild cloud-config repository serves as a blueprint outlining fundamental concepts, aiding developers in initiating the creation of their own templates and examples for their organizations.
Dependency Status and Automated Project Upgrades
Stay ahead with automated dependency management. Plybuild keeps you informed about dependency status and takes the hassle out of upgrading project dependencies. With automated upgrades, your projects remain up-to-date, secure, and optimized without the manual tedious work, ensuring smooth development cycles.
ply status displays outdated dependencies along with their respective latest release versions
ply upgrade offers multiple options to customize the automatic upgrade process based on preference
