Introducing the WSO2 App Factory - Platform for a Smooth App Development Process

Taken from [1]

Rapid growth in the number of applications generated today demand a managed approach for the application delivery process. The question is can enterprise app dev models handle high volumes while adhering to the desired governance process? The challenge lies in gaining rapid access to server and application resources within development, test, and production environments. In addition provisioning Software Development Life-Cycle (SDLC) tools can also delay the app delivery process.

The above problems mainly arise because of disconnected infrastructure, technology, people, process, and information flows. The new WSO2 App Factory revolutionizes the app delivery process by providing a platform for managed application development for the entire lifecycle of applications.

The WSO2 App Factory supports creating, developing, and deploying applications to different lifecycle environments with a single click. It integrates with existing tools to provide a complete software development life cycle (SDLC) toolchain including source control, build management, and deployment. This enables an agile, on-demand application development environment that helps transform how you manage your business IT.
