Product Releases
and Updates
OutSystems Developer Cloud addresses this by providing native support for these services, enabling developers to retrieve data through simple service actions and quickly implement advanced AI use cases like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). IT benefits from granular access control (CRUD permissions) and comprehensive usage tracking across teams, ensuring robust governance. This streamlined integration accelerates the development of AI-powered applications with trusted, context-aware data, all managed within a unified platform.
OutSystems mitigates these challenges with native AI Model Management in OutSystems Developer Cloud, enabling teams to seamlessly connect, govern, and reuse AI models from leading providers like Azure OpenAI and custom in-house models. Developers can now integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) with built-in monitoring, guardrails, and stage-specific configurations. IT gains centralized oversight of model usage, costs, and access controls, enabling rapid innovation through pre-built abstractions. This approach facilitates confident AI scaling across the application portfolio, simplifying every stage of the development lifecycle.
Available since day one in OutSystems Developer Cloud, we’re happy to report that applications built in OutSystems 11 are now also CDN-friendly. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are commonly used to improve performance and the response time perceived by users. CDNs cache application resources (e.g. Javascript) and need to refresh when they change to guarantee a correct end-user experience. Administrators can now configure the OutSystems 11 Platform to rename application resources when they change, forcing a refresh in the CDN. This eliminates the need for manual CDN refreshes and avoids stale caches and user experience problems.
O11 Integration with customers' email servers now supports OAuth, the gold standard for SMTP authentication. The update mitigates security concerns connected with the SMTP Basic Authentication and allows painless transition from it. The new configuration is available in the Service Center and doesn’t require manual application changes.
Data Fabric in ODC just got an exciting new feature: SQL Queries for external entities. Unleash your true data potential by manipulating data with no limits. Developers can now write, test, and optimize complex SQL queries directly within their apps using a common language, regardless of the data source. While Aggregates offer a streamlined approach, SQL queries provide the flexibility needed for advanced data manipulation. Start exploring this new capability and enhance your integrations!
Understanding resource utilization is key to maximizing efficiency, reducing operational costs, and ensuring that critical resources are available when needed. With interactive dashboards and detailed metrics, you can easily monitor consumption, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions to optimize resource allocation.
We have enhanced the ODC Subscription portal to provide you with comprehensive, near-real-time insights into how your resources are being used while also providing the ability to increase capacity to meet your application needs.
Whether you need to restrict digital content sources, prevent attacks, or block unapproved third-party features, ODC now gives you that control. We're pleased to announce the ability to customize Content Security Policy (CSP) HTTP Headers in ODC! With this capability, you can tailor your content configuration settings to enhance your application's security, set guardrails against unwanted outside influence, and meet specific compliance requirements. Start customizing your CSP headers today and take your app security to the next level!

We are excited to announce the availability of a new feature in AI Mentor Studio on OutSystems 11. Our code injection patterns are now more powerful and precise in detecting potential security issues within your applications. This improvement leverages taint analysis - a cutting-edge technology that monitors the flow of user inputs throughout an application's screens and logic. It identifies unsanitized inputs that may reach sensitive areas like SQL nodes, HTTP requests, and other high-privileged operations. By pinpointing these vulnerabilities with greater precision, you can focus on the critical issues that need attention and strengthen your app’s robust security. This new pattern is now available for Reactive Web Apps and will be available in OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC) soon.
