What's New In Joget DX 8 Preview 2

Joget DX empowers everyone to develop enterprise-grade applications, regardless of technical competency or background. Recognizing the importance of citizen development for accelerating digital transformation, Joget has partnered with the Project Management Institute (PMI™) and achieved Gold Tier status in the PMI Citizen Developer™ Partner Program. To unlock the full potential of citizen development, the next generation Joget DX 8 platform is designed with a focus on User Experience (UX) and Governance.

A Focus on UX and Governance

User experience is essential for both end-users and developers, and the platform has to be simple and intuitive for user adoption. Governance, on the other hand, is crucial from the organization’s perspective to ensure safe and scalable implementations by providing guardrails and best practices.

First preview for Joget DX 8

To enhance Joget’s position as a leading open source no-code/low-code platform for citizen developers, the first preview for Joget DX 8 was unveiled with many innovations such as support for responsive single-page applications (SPA), intuitively redesigned visual builders, and automated governance health checks and audits.

What’s New in Joget DX 8 Preview 2
The 2nd preview release for Joget DX 8 is now available with more great features, as it doubles down on the two essential pillars for citizen development. Here are the major feature highlights for this latest release:

1. No-Code Database Wizards
No-Code Database Wizards
No-code Database Wizards are now available for external database integration. Instead of dealing with SQL code, developers can now visually configure database connections, queries and updates.

2. Data Model Visualization
Data Model Visualization

Joget DX simplifies data modeling by transparently managing data relationships through the Form Builder. To further ease app maintenance and data management in Joget DX 8, Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD) are automatically generated in real-time so developers can easily visualize the data relationships. The relationships are also described in words for greater clarity.

3. Database Optimization and Recommendations
Database Optimization and Recommendations


Common performance problems in enterprise applications are caused by slow database queries with unoptimized database table relationships. Joget DX application performance management (APM) features help to monitor and identify these bottlenecks. In Joget DX 8, app designers are now able to manually add indexes to keys directly from the visual data model. To guide non-technical users, the platform will also automatically make recommendations on database optimizations.

4. App Plugin Dependency Checks
App Plugin Dependency Checks


A major strength of Joget DX is its flexibility due to its dynamic plugin architecture, which allows almost limitless extension of the platform. However, applications may have dependencies to plugins which might be missing when moving between environments. In Joget DX 8, the new App Composer will detect missing plugin dependencies to prevent unintended app configurations.

5. Additional Governance Health Checks and Audits
Additional Governance Health Checks and Audits


Joget DX 8 provides automated governance health checks and alerts to aid compliance in critical enterprise areas such as security, performance and application quality. The latest release adds additional checks such as orphaned form data and missing app plugins.

Integration with the Governance Center
Integration with the Governance Center


Joget DX 8 will integrate with the upcoming Governance Center, a centralized portal to manage and monitor Joget installations, apps and developers within an organization.


Integration with the Governance Center


The Governance Center will provide clear visibility into the status of larger-scale citizen development initiatives, while enabling control and approval for app deployments between environments.


Integration with the Governance Center

The Governance Center itself will be a Joget app, so it can be tailored to an organization’s individual requirements.

Introduction to Security Benefits and Risks in Low-Code Platforms As digitalization becomes increasingly prevalent, low-code platforms are rapidly gaining adoption across industries. Employing visual techniques to programming, they enable the development and delivery of applications in a fraction of the time required by traditional coding.

 “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...
