WaveMaker RAD Platform is a licensed software that enables organizations to run their own end-to-application platform-as-a-service (aPaaS) for rapidly building and efficiently running custom apps. It also allows developers and business users to work with standard enterprise-grade technologies to immediately create apps that can be easily extended or customized. Those apps can consume APIs, visualize data for insights and automatically support multi-device responsive interfaces.
WaveMaker RAD Platform enables organizations to deploy applications on public or private cloud infrastructure, and containers can be deployed on top of virtual machines or on bare metal. At the same time, WaveMaker RAD Platform enables IT to optimize and improve management of its app infrastructure by providing a graphic user interface (GUI) console and capabilities that leverage the power of Docker containerization.
The solution includes added features for app deployment automation, app lifecycle management, release management, deployment workflow and access rights. The development capabilities of include:
It also combines these with container management capabilities provided on top of Docker for:
WaveMaker Studio
WaveMaker RAD Platform is built around WaveMaker Studio - a WYSIWYG rapid development tool that allows computer-literate business users to compose an application using a drag-and-drop method. WaveMaker supports rapid application development (RAD) for the web, similar to what products like PowerBuilder and Lotus Notes provided for client server computing.
WaveMaker Studio allows developers to produce an application once, then auto-adjust it for a particular target platform, whether a PC, mobile phone, or tablet. Applications created using the WaveMaker Studio follow a model–view–controller architecture.
WaveMaker Studio has been downloaded more than two million times. The Studio community consists of 30,000 registered users. Applications generated by WaveMaker Studio are licensed under the Apache license.
Studio 7, released in September 2014, is the latest version of WaveMaker Studio. While Studio 7 is based on AngularJS framework, previous Studio versions (6.7, 6.6, 6.5) use the Dojo Toolkit. Some of the features of WaveMaker Studio include:
As an example of the level of complexity of applications that can be built using a WYSIWYG development approach for Ajax applications, the WaveMaker Studio was built using WaveMaker. WaveMaker is meant for use by web developers who prefer visual tools.
Technologies and Frameworks
