4. Challenges of Traditional Application
Lifecycle Management
IT and Infrastructure
● Poor Agility
● Lack of continuous integration/build and
DevOps
● No consistency in
○ Repo creation
○ Jenkins build systems
○ Issue tracker
○ Dependency usage
○ Resource usage
External
● Too complex for 3rd party developers
● Hard to access APIs infrastructure
● No App Store/ No API Store.
Governance
● Governance is manual hence costly
and inconsistent
● Management have no insight into
development
Environments
● Hard to create and maintain
environments
5. Accelerated Application Development
Why Application Development need to be
accelerated?
“within the digital universe the data volume to double every 18 months”
The Expanding Digital Universe: A Forecast of Worldwide Information Growth through 2010
John F. Gantz, David Reinsel et al.
o Building applications need to keep phase with
o Growth of data
o Growth of demand to consume data
o Advance requirements to consume data
6. Accelerated Application Development
An Accelerated Application Development Platform
provides,
o Collaboration and Communication among
stakeholders
o Agility/ Continuous Delivery
o Proper governance (Resources and SLDC)
o Dependency management
o Re-usability
7. Project Setup
o Repository Creation
o Continuous Integration Tool
o Issue Tracking tool etc...

This takes time …..
8. Development Phase
o Manage development team
o Manage resources across environments
o Providing Test Environments
o Continuous integration
o Software Development Lifecycle Management
o Bug tracking

9. Deployment Phase
o Continuous Deployment
o Setting up a deployment environment
o Enable high security in the production
environment
o Ensure scalability and high availability

Appfactory does them all
for me ? …. hmm well ..
what is Appfactory?
11. WSO2 App Factory
A platform that supports applications from cradle
to grave
13. How it is made easy …..
o Single click infrastructure creation during
application creation.
o Code repository
o Issue tracking
o Continuous integration
14. Private Build and Repo Space for Devs
o A parent repo for the entire team
o Per Developer Repositories (Forked Repository)
o Per Developer Builds
o Merged with the parent repo upon a pull
request
15. Lifecycle Management
o Configurable checklist for promoting
o Check list + Single click for promoting
o Different security levels for each lifecycle
16. Resource Management
o Supported resource types
o Datasources
o APIs (External/Enterprise)
o Properties
o Resource creation, editing has never been this
easy
o Automatically wired according to the
environment
17. Resource Management

18. Coding made easy
o Code snippets available for each resource type
o Just copy and paste into your code
o Utilize resource you created within your
application with minimum effort.
19. Agility

20. Communication & Collaboration
o Application wall - communicate application level
information among team members
o Branching
o Application team management information
o Lifecycle state changes
o Build Status
o Deployment Status
o User Wall - Shows user level notification
o Information of all applications that user belongs to.
o Dash Board
o overview of the application statistically.
