Lifecycle Management

The lifecycle management and DevOps capabilities of OutSystems are at the cornerstone of our customers' success and a critical factor in sustaining large software factories as they grow—without compromising productivity.

OutSystems supports the entire application lifecycle as follows:

  • Deployment: One click deploys the user interface, database, workflows and integration components. A dependency analysis engine ensures a healthy state for all running applications: in the cloud, on-premises or hybrid.
  • Operations and analytics: All apps are automatically monitored, and easy-to-use analytical dashboards are provided to guide the team to the most critical issues. Troubleshooting a problem is done in a matter of seconds.
  • Management: Configuration management of running applications and identity management are also handled by OutSystems.

This combination simplifies the deployment of a complex app to production without the need for scripting or manual tasks. It enables application factories to benefit from the continuous delivery that ultimately fosters the productive collaboration between the business and IT.

How does OutSystems handle deployment and staging?

With OutSystems, deploying a complex app to production is simple and doesn't require specialized skill sets (scripting or maven experts). It offers automated staging across environments with full dependency analysis, no downtime and automated rollback capabilities.

What kind of monitoring and analytics does OutSystems offer?

Comprehensive auditing and monitoring tools built into OutSystems enable a proactive management of application performance and make it easier to detect problems by allowing the identification of performance issues in real-time.

Configuration management for OutSystems applications

OutSystems enables all sorts of runtime configurations, such as scheduling of batch jobs, database connections, web-service endpoints, business properties and versions. The OutSystems management console is the centralized administration tool that makes it possible to do all this configuration in one place.

Identity and access management

OutSystems offers full support for identity management, including user management, groups, Windows integrated authentication and LDAP. This is completely integrated with the development environment, so that it is possible to restrict access to certain pages, or even elements inside the pages, without coding.
How does OutSystems support testing and quality assurance?

Quality assurance is built into OutSystems to ensure fast and zero-error deployment. Developers can changes applications data models, APIs and architecture, knowing that all dependencies will be automatically updated, thereby eliminating errors that can be created when updating is manual.

How does OutSystems handle technical debt?

With Architecture Dashboard, technical debt can be effectively managed at every stage of the development lifecycle—assisted by AI and machine learning.
How does OutSystems enable team collaboration?

Apps developed with OutSystems consist of modules, which makes team collaboration easy, even for development factories with a large number of developers. In a modular system, multiple developers can be working on a single app but because it is composed of modules, they are most likely to work in separate modules.
Version and source control

OutSystems includes version and source control out-of-the box. All versions of applications and modules are stored automatically in a central repository, every time they are published. Relevant application and module milestones can be tagged, version history - including who and when - can be checked and rollback to any prior version can be easily downloaded.
