OutSystems unveils Cloud-Native Development platform

By Leandra Monteiro

OutSystems, a global leader in modern application development, unveiled a next generation application platform that enables development teams to build cloud applications. Today, more than 14 million people use apps created on the OutSystems platform. Customers rely on OutSystems to build everything from mobile apps and consumer websites to workgroup apps and extensions of other core systems like Microsoft, SAP, and Salesforce. The new platform, codenamed Project Neo, delivers the next level of application scale and developer productivity that organisations need to compete in a cloud-first world.

OutSystems architected the new platform from the ground up to directly solve the most pressing challenges facing businesses today as they manage constant change, software development talent shortages, and the essential need to modernise their business. Project Neo combines the productivity benefits of visual, model-based development with a container and Kubernetes-based cloud architecture, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), so any company can build custom cloud apps capable of global-scale and continuous change.

“OutSystems is breaking the boundaries of traditional software development. With Project Neo, we’ve architected a platform that allows any development team to build any app at internet scale,” said Paulo Rosado, CEO and Founder of OutSystems. “Developers should be the artisans of innovation in their organisation, but they are mired in complexity that stifles their ability to innovate and differentiate. Instead of using their talents to fix, change and maintain code and aging systems, you can give them industry-leading tools that unleash their creativity on your business, and achieve massive competitive advantage.”

Project Neo is now available for public preview ahead of its official launch in 2022. Project Neo will stand alongside the company’s market-leading platform, OutSystems 11, considered by analysts and developers as a top choice for enterprise-grade low-code development. The company will continue to invest in the current platform as it co-exists with Project Neo, giving customers options for cloud-native, multi-cloud or on-premises solutions that work best for them. Developers can trial OutSystems 11 free and preview Project Neo.
