Enterprise applications are inherently complex, and performance problems are unfortunately a common phenomenon. This article describes some of the most common performance issues, and provides insights to help you identify problems and eventually optimize the performance of your apps. The content here is tailored for the Joget platform, but the information provided can be applied generally for any enterprise environment. Joget is an open source no-code/low-code application platform that empowers business users, non-coders or coders with a single platform to easily build, deliver, monitor and maintain enterprise applications. Getting apps built and deployed quickly is important, but having them perform well is essential. At the platform level, Joget has been optimized and streamlined as outlined in the article Need for Speed: How We Optimized Performance in the Joget Workflow v6 Platform .

Introduction to Application Performance Management (APM) In this digital transformation era, software applications serve an increasingly vital role to help businesses change how they operate and compete. With such dependency, application performance thus becomes a critical factor in ensuring that a business’ bottom line is not affected. For example: Operational performance issues with critical business applications can result in loss of revenue and cause customers or prospects to possibly abandon the business and go elsewhere.  Downtime or slow response in a customer facing application would result in a negative customer experience, and significantly impacting customer satisfaction. Interruptions or slowdowns in internal applications would result in loss of employee productivity and increased support costs.  This is where application performance management (APM) comes in. APM is the monitoring and management of performance and availability of software applications. ...

As an open source low-code / no-code application platform , Joget Workflow allows both non-coders and coders alike to visually build apps rapidly. Beneath this simplicity though, there is a lot going on and performance has always been a priority. The focus is to provide a fast runtime for apps, and we diligently try to ensure that there is as little overhead as possible at the platform level. The Joget team has been hard at work on Joget Workflow v6 , currently in public beta. We have recently been looking into ways to streamline and optimize performance of the platform even more. This technical article details how this was done for the latest beta release, and could provide helpful tips for your own projects or products. The article gets quite technical and is targeted at developers interested in the inner workings of the platform. Let’s take a look under the hood.

To address this, new features in v6 include a Material-design inspired user experience, mobile device responsiveness, dashboard capabilities and many many more. With touch support for designing apps (imagine using an iPad to build and maintain apps!), building beautiful and user friendly apps will be easier than ever. APP MAINTAINABILITY AND PERFORMANCE The major challenge in app development is not building it the first time, but rather maintaining and evolving it over time. A big focus in v6 is improving app maintainability, with additional tools to manage dependencies and to automatically merge concurre...
