Steeltoe is a collection of .NET libraries that add cloud-native microservices capabilities such as externalized configuration, service discovery, distributed tracing, management endpoints, security, and database connectors. It integrates .NET applications with Spring/Spring Boot ecosystems, Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, and Tanzu platforms.

Use cases

  • build .NET microservices with Spring Cloud Config Server externalized configuration
  • register and discover services with Netflix Eureka or Consul from a .NET app
  • add Spring Boot actuator-style management endpoints to ASP.NET Core
  • change log levels at runtime and export metrics to Prometheus
  • connect .NET apps to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, RabbitMQ or Cosmos DB in the cloud
  • add single sign-on JWT and certificate auth with Cloud Foundry
  • add distributed tracing to .NET microservice logs

When to choose

  • you're building or modernizing .NET microservices that must integrate with Spring Boot or Cloud Foundry environments
  • you need Spring Cloud-style features (config server, Eureka, actuators) in .NET
  • you're deploying .NET apps to Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, or Tanzu and want service discovery, config, and management out of the box

When to avoid

  • you're building a simple monolith with no cloud or microservices requirements
  • your stack is not .NET (Steeltoe is C#/.NET only)
  • you prefer assembling individual libraries yourself rather than adopting an integrated framework
