Pode is a cross-platform, open-source web framework written in PowerShell for building REST APIs, web pages, and TCP/SMTP servers. It supports HTTPS, authentication, sessions, OpenAPI/Swagger, dynamic .pode views, and hosting on Azure Functions, AWS Lambda, and Docker.

Use cases

• build a REST API in PowerShell
• host a simple website or web pages from PowerShell scripts
• run an SMTP or TCP server for automation tasks
• add authentication and sessions to a PowerShell web server
• deploy PowerShell serverless functions to Azure Functions or AWS Lambda
• generate OpenAPI/Swagger documentation for PowerShell endpoints
• serve dynamic pages using embedded PowerShell templates

When to choose

• your team is PowerShell-centric and wants web APIs without learning another language
• you need a lightweight cross-platform web server driven by scripts
• you want to expose automation or admin tasks as REST endpoints
• you need SMTP/TCP listeners alongside HTTP in one framework

When to avoid

• you need a high-performance, high-concurrency production web server
• your stack is Node.js, Python, or Go and PowerShell is not a requirement
• you need a large ecosystem of middleware and packages
• you want rich frontend tooling or SPA frameworks
