WSO2 App Factory
WSO2 App Factory has been moved to maintenance mode. Hence there will be no further development or evolution of the product.
We will continue to support existing customers using this product. For more details contact us.
WSO2 App Factory is a multi-tenant, elastic and self-service Enterprise DevOps platform that enables multiple project teams to collaboratively create, run and manage enterprise applications. Combining complete application lifecycle management and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) capabilities, WSO2 App Factory makes it possible to develop, test, deploy to production and retire applications with a single click. It also provides an easy way to discover and consume apps and APIs through a user-friendly storefront.
App Factory supports development of any type of enterprise application, including web apps, work flows, integration, business rules, mashups, mobile apps and more, leveraging WSO2 middleware as a service or even non-Java and non-WSO2 technologies. By integrating with your existing tools, including source control, issue tracker, forums, build management, and deployment, it provides a complete systems development life cycle (SDLC) tool chain.
By simplifying project set-up, provisioning and development activities, App Factory transforms application delivery and the IT-business dynamic. IT becomes a more agile business-enabler, providing faster time-to-market and enhanced visibility into the performance, adoption, usage and value of applications. App Factory offers a supported, seamless solution that can be deployed in a private cloud or into a public cloud.
