OpenEdge is a first-class citizen in the Build.One Platform
– Build.One Co-CEO Mike Liewehr
Build.One is a cloud-native, end-to-end development platform for enterprise business applications that integrates with more than 400 technologies – prominently, with Progress OpenEdge. Build.One, a Progress Partner, goes the extra mile in making the integration of OpenEdge and development in ABL a breeze within its cloud-based development environment. Let’s have a look into what this means.
Data Access
Availability & Access
OpenEdge being a first-class citizen means hassle-free, native availability of existing OpenEdge databases for use in the Build.One Platform. With Build.One, you can very quickly connect existing databases and they will be available for immediate use in both web and ABL development as you desire. There is no need for building a REST API, an entire abstraction layer, or filtering. Build.One makes this data available automatically, taking care of starting & stopping of databases, access control, and filtering.
Reading & Updating
We bridge the Progress OpenEdge and the web world with optimal efficiency. Amongst many nuanced best practices that we take care of in the background, we support concurrent data access by providing optimistic record locking as well as conflict handling – no need to develop wrappers for safety in accessing your databases. Let’s do away with bloated desktop applications. Build.One balances resources in accessing your databases with making sure that your data is always read and written correctly.
ABL / Dev
In Build.One, you can natively develop in ABL alongside Typescript. Don’t worry about juggling separate workspaces, nor switching IDEs, nor compilation. Build.One takes care of it all and takes care of data access in the background (using PASOE), synchronisation, and many more developer amenities you would expect from a fully-fledged development platform.
Tooling – Build & Deploy
With Build.One, you can commit changes directly from within your editor – for both frontend and backend changes together. Alternative solutions often result in separate teams, tooling, etc. for backend and frontend, resulting in overhead to coordinate and synchronise development efforts. With Build.One, ABL developers can become full-stack developers again and do away with project and DevOps overhead.
Conclusion
At Build.One, we want to enable you to not just keep up with the pace of tech – but set the pace. Our seamless integration with OpenEdge and ABL allows you to harness the full potential of your tried-and-tested backend data and logic while embracing the future of cloud-based innovation.
Build.One is redefining what it means to modernise. Beyond being a necessity, we want it to be exciting. Providing a modern web experience out of the box, fully integrated with your OpenEdge backend, provides you with a lightyear jumpstart – but is only the first step. Learn more.
