Introduction
OutSystems is a robust and flexible low-code platform intended for the development of enterprise mobile and web applications that are deployed in local or hybrid environments.
A low-code development platform (LCDP) is software that provides developers with an environment used to create application software through graphical user interfaces and configuration instead of traditional computer programming. LCDPs reduce the amount of traditional handwritten code and ensure faster application development, installation, and deployment. A common advantage is that LCDPs have a smoother learning curve as compared to most programming languages and, accordingly, more people can participate in development.
OutSystems benefits
In addition to the high level of application support and operation safety, developers highlight the following benefits of this platform:
- Maximum development speed. Visual programming allows creating fully-functional applications very quickly and then sending them to the server with a single click.
- Integration with everything. OutSystems makes it possible to effectively integrate applications with any environment. The platform generates all methods and data structures for the integration with SOAP and REST services and SAP systems. Initially, there is connection with the following main database systems: SQL Server, SQL Azure, Oracle, MySQL, and DB2 iSeries. Connectors for the most popular cloud, storage services and social networks are available in OutSystems Forge.
- Great UI/UX by default. A large number of beautiful and ready-to-use interface templates, excellent performance, and a feature-rich drag-and-drop editor.
- Unlimited code. It is possible to extend both the front-end and the back-end of an application with your own code.
- Excellent vertical and horizontal scalability. You can add supplementary processing power and interface servers to any production environment with no difficulties. It helps achieve high availability when user load, business logic complexity, batch processing amount or the number of transactions increase.
