Modularity is (no) rocket science!

However, it can sometimes be cumbersome to maintain very large and complex applications and manage re-useable application components.

Join this session as we introduce a new capability of the Mendix App Platform, learn how to use it and how you can much more efficiently and easily maintain complex applications.

Don’t go crazy in your App Jungle

In most companies it takes several weeks to set up the hosting environment for an application. Maintaining multiple applications and the servers they run on can easily become a nightmare. In the “App Jungle” business critical application are often build and deployed with little or no IT management exposing an organization to tremendous risk. From a deployment perspective organizations often:

  • have no idea who has access to applications and servers, as access rights are defined on multiple different locations
  • have missing or incomplete test, acceptance and production environments
  • wait for days before a systems administrator has the time to deploy a new version

Learn how the Mendix App Platform allows you to create new test, acceptance and production environments in the cloud in minutes. A dashboard allows authorized employees to immediately deploy, monitor and debug applications. This drastically speeds up deployment times, significantly reduces overhead and eliminates the risk of unmanaged, unsecure applications.

In this presentation you will see:

  • how we automate server management from a technical perspective
  • best practices on how you can manage applications in cloud with the Mendix App Platform
  • a sneak preview of upcoming cloud management features of the Mendix App Platform
