How WaveMaker Got Faster, Better, More Agile with Docker

Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Predictive Analytics Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Data Exchange & Integration Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Connectivity Platforms
Applicable Industries	Professional Service Software
Applicable Functions	Business Operation Product Research & Development
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services Software Design & Engineering Services System Integration
Challenge	WaveMaker faced several challenges with their monolithic build process, which limited the number of releases they could manage. They also utilized excessive resources to support free trials for thousands of users, requiring a voluminous and complex operation for managing upgrades, updates, and workload migration. With a rapidly growing developer community, WaveMaker needed to quickly scale their operations or hire a large team to manage the increasing application workload. The company needed a solution that would allow them to efficiently manage thousands of custom apps built via their Rapid Application Development and Deployment platform. Read More
About Customer	WaveMaker, Inc., a Pramati Technologies company, is a software platform provider that revolutionizes how enterprises build, deliver, and manage modern custom applications. The company focuses on improving business agility and fostering innovation by leveraging the latest trends and technologies in Rapid App Development (RAD). These include multi-device auto-responsive interfaces, componentized app assembly, Docker for app-optimized container deployment on private infrastructures, and APIs and Microservices Architecture (MSA) for scalable integration. WaveMaker is headquartered in Mountain View, CA, with offices in Hyderabad, India. Read More
Solution	WaveMaker adopted Docker Containers to address their challenges. Docker technology allowed developers to package applications in standard containers and transfer them to virtually any server, eliminating the need for creating virtual machines for each app. This resulted in better resource utilization and increased processing power for more applications. WaveMaker also implemented a Microservice Architecture, breaking down the platform into multiple smaller services running as Docker containers. This increased the maintainability and agility of the platform, allowing for daily builds to the staging environment and weekly production releases. Additionally, WaveMaker developed an innovative volume layer technology to make containers truly portable along with the associated data, enabling simplified upgrades and container migrations.
