Repoflow tool

Repoflow is a tool to help you work with microservices and multiple repositories with special focus on Kubernetes.

Some of the features to help your team be more productive are:

• Generate a namespace per feature
• Group and target the changes from different features into a namespace
• Hot link/unlink any package and containers to any namespace.
• Monitor logs and alarms only for the checkout kubernetes entities.
• Dashboard and alerts for all the GIT repositories involved during the development of a feature.
• Automatic herarchycal run/build/watch for librieries, app, containers and kubernetes entities.
• Visualize and control multiple repositories for checkout services/container/packages.
• Simplify your development process with feature iterations.
• Versioned configuration for all your kubernetes entities.
• Automatic cluster diagrams with code and repositories relations for realms

This tool will help you to have a scalable code base, you can follow the build process of our blog as a real example on how to evolve and grow a microservices system with help of the repoflow tool.

You can find an opensource example of a complete microservices system on Kubernetes live in production in our blog blog.repoflow.com, with this real example you can lean about all the interation of the different entities of a Kubernetes system.
