In the context of global digitization, low-code development capabilities are more and more recognized. It can effectively solve the problems of daily application development of enterprises. However, for some enterprises, their enterprise-level applications are complex and changeable. At this time, only enterprises with A low-code platform with high-level development capabilities can help them well.
Enterprise-level applications are the main application platforms that carry the core value chain business of enterprises. They usually have the following characteristics:
1. Many businesses and complex processes
Modern enterprises usually have a variety of core business scenarios, and the process of each business scenario is relatively long. For example, asset life cycle management includes multiple key processes such as procurement, requisition, maintenance, allocation, and return, and these processes will also involve to various complex business rules and risk management strategies.
2. Lots of data
The internal management decision-making chain, production and manufacturing chain, customer service chain, etc. are interlinked, which promotes a large number of interactions between the core business system and other related systems: there are many related data sources and data types.
3. Large variables
As a platform that effectively supports core business, enterprise-level applications need to have the ability to respond quickly and adapt, that is, to adapt to new business processes without development or a small amount of development.
Therefore, the complex and changeable logic of enterprise-level application business cannot be realized by those low-code platforms that can only support simple reports and workflow development. Therefore, enterprise-level low-code platforms are required for support.
Enterprise-level low-code refers to a low-code platform that can support the development of large-scale, high-complexity, and high-tech standard applications. It not only empowers technicians, but also extends low-code technology to core business application areas represented by production, sales, and operations.
Core business applications bring more value to enterprises than peripheral applications, and provide stronger feedback to decision makers. Therefore, enterprise-level low-code platforms are more important for enterprises.
So what are the key capabilities of the J2PaaS low-code platform that can support the development of enterprise-level applications? Combined with the "General Capability Requirements for Low-Code and No-Code Development Platforms" issued by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, there are mainly the following core capabilities:
(1) Convenience of data modeling and management
This capability is usually referred to as model-driven, which can provide data model design and management capabilities that meet the database design paradigm. The higher the complexity of the application developed and the higher the requirements for system integration, the more critical this capability is.
The J2PaaS platform modeling tool sets the platform's standard requirements for the database, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of data modeling, ensuring that the database settings are more standardized, and meeting the secondary development needs of the database level.
(2) Process and business logic development capabilities and efficiency
The J2PaaS enterprise-level platform provides the WYSIWYG drag-and-drop design function. The page design can directly pull basic controls, container controls, layout controls, advanced controls, etc., and input class controls can automatically bind data table fields and event management. Through event-driven execution of common logic, such as adding, saving, refreshing, etc., the development process is convenient and easy to use.
In the design of business functions, function design tools can be used to standardize the configuration of business functions, improve the ease of maintenance of business functions, develop complex workflows and business processing logic, improve development efficiency, and improve the flexibility of business logic expansion.
(3) Platform security
In order to ensure that the application is actually implemented and reduce the risks in the development process, the low-code development platform needs to have the following capabilities: flexible deployment methods, security mechanisms, and permission control.
J2PaaS enterprise-level low-code platform has flexible deployment methods, supports private cloud deployment, public cloud deployment and hybrid cloud deployment, and can also provide enterprises with multiple delivery methods such as online deployment, offline deployment and hybrid deployment.
In terms of authority management, it supports authorization by function and role authorization (including three-level authority management of function authority, operation authority, and data authority) to ensure the platform's control of usage authority.
function authorization
role authorization
(4) Programming interface and system integration capabilities
To avoid "data silos", enterprise-level applications need to be integrated with other systems for synergy. Therefore, the low-code development platform needs to provide system integration capabilities and programming interfaces to realize data connection with other systems.
All functional components of the J2PaaS enterprise-level platform provide external standard WebService interface and Restful interface; provide standard single sign-on components; based on middleware enterprise service bus, realize integration with third-party applications.
(5) Support advanced architecture and technology
In addition to information management, the digitalization of enterprises also needs to be connected with some advanced technologies. The J2PaaS enterprise-level platform supports service-oriented, layered architecture, high availability and cluster application deployment, and integrates various interoperability interfaces such as the Internet of Things and big data. , which can realize the docking of different data without further development, which is helpful for docking new technologies such as IoT, RPA, and big data.
Application development can be done with little or no code, which is just one feature of low-code platforms.
As an enterprise-level low-code platform, J2PaaS not only helps enterprise-level application development, but also helps different personnel in requirements, development, testing, and management to improve the standardization and standardization of work during the project process. and high efficiency, becoming a high-productivity technology platform.
