  • Injection

    Customize your applications with your unique and specific business functionalities.

  • Containerization

AUTOMATION

develop, deploy and manage apis and configurable ui modules in a matter of minutes and increase productivity of your developers dramatically.

  • grapple instant API

    Create a fully functional REST API in seconds, without any coding or infrastructure setup.

    A simple and intuitive interface for defining the endpoints and responses for your API, as well as automatic documentation and testing tools.

    Simply define the resources and their respective routes for your API, and then specify the HTTP method (e.g. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and response for each route.  

    Customize the responses based on the requests using dynamic parameters and query strings.

    Create and deploy a functional API very quickly, without the need for any server-side coding or infrastructure setup.

    An ideal solution for prototyping and testing API ideas, or for quickly building simple APIs for most (simple) applications.

  • grapple ApplicationSet

    The ApplicationSet is an easily deployable component/interface.

    It can be very easily transported from one to the other cluster.

  • Scaling and caching

    All grapple components come with auto-scaling from the ground up.

    The grapple API also provides an “integrated” and “configurable” caching solution for your data assets in order to optimize performance and scalability

injection

customize your applications with your unique and specific business functionalities.

  • Integrate functionalities that are unique to your business

    By injecting code, you can extend the automated grapple components your custom business functionality.

    Access all automatically generated resources and build additional functionality on the top of it.

    Build completely new APIs and UI components from ground up and deploy and integrate them alongside the grapple components.

  • Bring your own components (BYOC)

    With BYOC you can integrate your own APIs and UI modules into the grapple platform exploiting the shared functionalities of the grapple platform.

  • APIs

    You can integrate your custom APIs seamlessly and profit from further services on top of your custom APIs without additional efforts (like for example caching, authentication, monitoring, API management, etc)

  • UI modules

    You can integrate your custom UI modules seamlessly and profit from further services on top of your custom UI modules without additional efforts (like for example caching, authentication, monitoring, UI module registry, etc)

  • Other Platform services

    There is a simple interface to use the grapple platform services by your custom components. For example monitoring, etc.

containerization

lay the foundation of modern cloud-native application development and deployment.

  • Run your applications consistently on any infrastructure

    grapple packages software code with just the operating system (OS) libraries and dependencies required to run the code to create a single lightweight executable—called a container.

    Containers are more portable and resource-efficient than virtual machines (VMs), containers have become the de facto compute units of modern cloud-native applications.

  • Benefits of containerization:

    Portability

    Efficiency

    Agility

    Faster delivery

    Improved security

    Faster app startup

    Easier management

    Flexibility

platform services

services with the aim to enable faster business performance for standard operations.

  • Services

    The grapple Application Platform is a framework of services that application programs rely on for standard operations. The grapple Application Platform operates across five principal areas: development tools, execution services, data services, operating systems and cloud services.

    Not all of these resources or services are required for every application, and not every application platform provides all five resources. More complex applications require more extensive and feature-rich platforms for development than simpler apps. This means that a developer might deploy multiple application platforms to support a complex application.

    grapple delivers a growing number of Platform Services with the aim to enable faster business performance through greater accessibility, integration and utilization of existing functionalities and code. These services help to drive operational resilience because the avoid issues related to the human factor, vulnerabilities, security, performance and availability. Ultimately, these services will help your employees to spend less time managing and provisioning compute resources and instead spend time on work that matters most innovating and creating new software features and releases.

  • Reusability

    All artefacts are registered in a central manner and therefore made reusable by any other team/project/project/department. The platform can be extended to perfectly “integrate” with your environments and tools.

  • Federated UI Module Dashboard

    Our solution automatically generates useful UI components for every data source and every API endpoint. All of these UI components automatically register themselves in the central Federated UI Module Dashboard. This enables a developer of a new application to search for existing components before creating his own components leads to higher reusability of data, APIs and UI modules.

  • Central API Registry

    All generated APIs will automatically “register” in an API registry / an API management platform. the API registry is primarily aimed at consumers and producers of APIs within an organization whose main concerns are finding and listing APIs in their organization’s catalog. The API registry / API management builds a layer of abstraction between consumers and producers of APIs and allows to centralize certain functionalities to make the APIs of an organization look and feel alike.

  • Secure and centrally managed authorization

    Authorization happens in a central place. Always managed through https this is much more secure (every communication is “encrypted”) and easier to manage.
