Develop applications that drive revenue, reduce costs, and control risk—at internet scale

OutSystems Developer Cloud runs on AWS using Kubernetes for container orchestration and .NET Core on Linux containers. Each application runs in its own isolated container, improving scalability, resilience, deployment speed, and operational isolation.

ODC is available as a fully managed PaaS in the OutSystems cloud. Self-hosted deployment is designed to support customers that need more infrastructure control, including customer-managed Kubernetes environments. Self-hosted models are designed with platform services managed by OutSystems and runtime applications running in customer infrastructure.

ODC uses Amazon Aurora Serverless with PostgreSQL compatibility, a fully managed relational database service on AWS. It provides automatic scaling, high availability, automated backups, and PostgreSQL compatibility, allowing ODC to deliver a reliable and scalable database solution with minimal operational overhead.

ODC supports automatic scaling across multiple AWS availability zones using Kubernetes. Each application runs in an isolated container and can scale independently. This architecture helps improve high availability, reduce noisy-neighbor issues, support automatic failover, and provide resilience for applications with variable or high-volume demand.

ODC connects to on-premises systems through a secure private gateway. A cloud connector runs behind your firewall, and ODC connects over HTTPS. This helps avoid IP conflicts while allowing secure access to on-premises databases, APIs, and enterprise systems without moving your data.

Many commonly used Forge components have been migrated to ODC. During migration planning, assessment tools can identify which Forge components your applications use and whether ODC equivalents exist. Some third-party components may need to be rebuilt, replaced, or re-architected.

ODC uses container-based deployment, enabling faster releases and independent application updates. It provides a unified portal and supports modern DevOps practices through CI/CD APIs, built-in monitoring, tracing, and logging. Dependency updates can be handled per application without forcing broad portfolio-level changes.

OutSystems platforms comply with HIPAA, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP requirements and hold certifications including SOC 2 Type II and multiple ISO standards. Built-in security and governance controls help customers build compliant applications out of the box. OutSystems also complies with privacy laws such as GDPR.
