As the wave of microservices architecture hit, the hypothesis is that companies with a reasonably large size of microservices would want a dashboard or a home page to see these services, their metadata and their status in a single place.
They may further want to see where the services stand in terms of some rules/metrics.
Hotpot is a Spring Boot framework that allows companies to build these functionalities more easily, by simply integrating with their own datasources.
A demo app for using the framework is at: https://demo.hotpotland.com
