JHipster

Full Stack Platform for the Modern Developer

Visit JHipster

JHipster is an open source development platform for generating, developing, and deploying modern web applications and microservice architectures. It brings together a server-side stack, a mobile-first UI, a build workflow, and infrastructure-as-code configuration in a single generated project.

Frontend options include Angular, React, Vue, Ionic, and React Native. Backend support covers Spring Boot (Java or Kotlin), Micronaut, Quarkus, Node.js, and .NET, with Webpack and Maven or Gradle for building. Deployment uses Docker and Kubernetes, with support for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Heroku, and OpenShift. Modules and blueprints extend the generated application, and development is hosted on GitHub.

JHipster is aimed at developers building web applications and microservice architectures who want a consistent starting point across these stacks. It is open source and available at no cost, with sponsorship and backing options for individuals and companies that wish to support the project.
