OutSystems reveals Project Neo, a next-gen application Platform

OutSystems has announced a next-generation application platform-Project Neo that allows developers to create cutting-edge cloud applications. The new platform, code-named Project Neo, enables enterprises to compete in a cloud-first environment by delivering the next level of application scaling and developer efficiency.

“OutSystems is breaking the boundaries of traditional software development. With Project Neo, we’ve architected a platform that allows any development team to build any app at internet scale,” said Paulo Rosado, CEO, and Founder of OutSystems.

He added, “Developers should be the artisans of innovation in their organization, but they are mired in complexity that stifles their ability to innovate and differentiate. Instead of using their talents to fix, change and maintain code and aging systems, you can give them industry-leading tools that unleash their creativity on your business and achieve massive competitive advantage.”

Over 14 million users already utilise apps built on the OutSystems platform. Customers trust OutSystems to create everything from mobile apps and consumer websites to workgroup apps and extensions for Microsoft, SAP, and Salesforce.

OutSystems built the new platform from the bottom up to address the most critical issues businesses face today, such as continual change, software development skill shortages, and the pressing need to modernise their operations. Project Neo combines the productivity benefits of visual, model-based programming with a cutting-edge container- and Kubernetes-based cloud architecture hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), allowing any firm to create unique cloud apps that can scale globally and adapt in real time.

How to Achieve Massive Productivity through Continuous Change

The new OutSystems platform is like hiring hundreds of top software developers and providing them access to tools that have hitherto been out of reach for all but the tech elite. Customers may build platforms that mix containers and Kubernetes with cutting-edge cloud technologies like serverless, database autoscaling, and event and messaging-based orchestration by democratising development.

OutSystems helps organizations to migrate legacy applications to the cloud, develop new and more strategic applications, or embark on digital transformation programs that affect every aspect of their business, from internal procedures to mobile apps. Project Neo accomplishes this by using the following methods:

• Managing development’s vital but undifferentiated aspects: Project Neo automates DevOps processes, manages an advanced cloud runtime, auto-documents code, resolves code dependencies, performs regression testing, enforces architecture standards, continuously adds new platform features, and keeps the entire system updated by the minute, allowing developers to focus on the code that drives innovation and competitive advantage. 
• Using elite-level DevOps practices: Allows developers to make key changes to applications in hours rather than days or weeks and to make several critical changes per day without incurring technical debt.
• Project Neo is constantly updated with new cloud technologies, ensuring that all cloud applications are always on and up to date. It is automatically updated with the latest cloud technologies without affecting apps already in production.
•  Auto-scaling consumer and B2B apps to massive demand spikes: It’s difficult to forecast when user communities will expand, but developers can be confident that their apps will scale to hundreds of millions of users as organizations and application usage expand.
• Project Neo will keep any development organization functioning at optimal productivity and performance, allowing hundreds of developers to work at once to update portfolios of applications.

Project Neo is currently open to the public for a sneak peeks before its official debut in 2022. Project Neo will sit alongside OutSystems 11, the company’s market-leading platform, which experts and developers see as the best choice for enterprise-grade low-code development. As Project Neo coexists with the present platform, the firm will continue to invest in it, giving customers the option of cloud-native, multi-cloud, or on-premises solutions that work best for them. Developers can get a free trial of OutSystems 11 and a sneak peek at Project Neo.
