The 3 Key Principles of the Joget Workflow Platform

By -
As we passed the 150,000 download milestone for the open source Community Edition earlier this year along with the release of Joget Workflow v5, we reflect upon the vision for the product as we work towards developing the next major release.

As an application development platform, the main value proposition can be summarized into 3 key principles: Simplicity, Flexibility and Openness.

Simplicity

Unlike many competing app development platforms, Joget Workflow empowers non-coders. Just a web browser is required to build and maintain apps anytime, anywhere. The web accessibility, visual approach and focus on simplicity reduces the time it typically takes to build apps from months to weeks or days. Or even just minutes for working prototypes.

There’s also the Joget Marketplace, where you can download ready-made apps and plugins. Just as how the Apple App Store and Google Play Store revolutionized smartphones by allowing apps to extend the functionality of a phone, the Joget Marketplace is a place to extend the capability of the Joget Workflow platform.

Flexibility

Rapid Application Development (RAD) products are typically focused on UI or database centric use cases, while Business Process Management (BPM) products are typically restricted to process centric scenarios.

Joget Workflow combines the best of both worlds to support full fledged end-to-end applications for cloud and mobile. Forms, lists, UI, workflow processes, user security, integration APIs. All the core features are provided out of the box.

However, it is very important to recognize that there is absolutely no way for any solution to cater to every requirement out there. That is why the platform is designed with a dynamic plugin architecture and APIs that allow developers to extend the platform as and when required.

Openness


We believe openness is a very important trait for software.

The core platform is open source, with associated benefits in cost, freedom, security and accountability. The platform can be deployed in various ways, whether on-premise, in the public or private cloud. It also runs on a multitude of operating systems, databases and application servers so it fits in with your infrastructure e.g. Windows, Linux, Oracle DB, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP HANA, MySQL, IBM Websphere, Oracle Weblogic, Red Hat JBoss, Apache Tomcat, etc.

There are also several editions of the platform to cater to different features and affordability needs, whether for Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, mid-market companies, departments, or small businesses.

What’s Coming in Joget Workflow v6

For the upcoming Joget Workflow v6, these 3 principles will still hold sway. In addition, based on the great community feedback in alignment with our product vision, there will be a dual pronged focus: User Experience (UX), and App Maintainability and Performance. More details will be coming soon!

1. Introduction Joget is an open source low-code/no-code application platform for faster, simpler digital transformation. Previously, we have seen how we can integrate Hyperledger Fabric with Joget . So in this article, we will look at a no-code approach to integrate another popular blockchain technology, specifically the Cardano blockchain, into a full-fledged web application. 2. What is Cardano? Cardano is a third-generation, open source, decentralized proof-of-stake (PoS) public blockchain platform, that aims to be a decentralized application (DApp) development platform with a multi-asset ledger and smart contracts . It is also home for the cryptocurrency ADA. The blockchain operates on the Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol. Compared to first-generation proof-of-work mechanisms like Bitcoin, instead of relying on powerful machines solving complex cryptographic equations to achieve consensus and compete for block rewards, the proof-of stake mechanism relies on end users s...

Superapps in the Enterprise: Up, Up and Away!

 “We think these applications are so compelling that we don’t just call them apps, we call them super apps… Super apps are applications that once you start using them, you’ll wonder just how you lived without them” - BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis. What is a Superapp?  In the early days of the smartphone revolution, BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis first coined the term “super app” (or “superapp”) in a MWC 2010 keynote speech . He defined them as “a closed ecosystem of many apps that people would use every day because they offer such a seamless, integrated, contextualized and efficient experience.” According to Gartner®, “a superapp is like a Swiss army knife with a range of component tools (miniapps) that the user can use and remove as needed”.  We consider superapps to be a single platform where miniapps are integrated, thus providing a seamless experience to its users. Here are some statistics and predictions from 2022 Gartner Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2...
