Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is cloud-native application development?
Cloud-native application development is the process of building responsive and scalable apps that can be deployed to a public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud. According to InfoWorld, cloud-native development involves modern techniques such as microservices, containers, CI/CD, and Agile methodologies.
-
Can Mendix run on any cloud?
Yes. Mendix can run on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and SAP.
Private Mendix Platform is our cloud-agnostic deployment option. Cloud agnostic refers to apps, platforms, or tools that are built to run smoothly in any cloud environment. A cloud-agnostic service can integrate with a mix of vendor tools but is not dependent on a single cloud provider. This spares the enterprise from vendor lock-in.
-
What is a multi-cloud strategy?
A multi-cloud strategy uses different cloud providers for different needs and requirements. Enterprises maintain complete control by using multiple providers to diversify where apps and data are stored.
With Mendix, multi-cloud means your apps will run and scale on your chosen platform, no matter how your strategy evolves. Multi-cloud also boosts availability and redundancy, and gives teams the ability to switch between cloud providers.
-
Does Mendix support European Cloud Sovereignty?
Yes. Mendix divides sovereignty into three topics: data, technical, and operational. We provide complete flexibility for all three.
