+# wlan-cloud-tools
+OpenWiFi Community tools used with Cloud 2.x SDK  
+
+# Overview
+This repository shows how to build a microservice that can be part of the OpenWifi eco-system, leveraging security, logging, Kafka intehration, etc.
+
+# Philosophy
+The whole eco-system must be API driven. We have chosen OpenAPI 3.0 as the standard to express inter-service exchanges. This guarantees language agnostic
+architecture.
