USE CASES

Can platformOS be used to build a complex Application?

Yes, platformOS hosts all types of applications, but we excel in complex web
applications. You can build simple landing pages, through advanced many-to-many
eCommerce / Community / Service marketplaces for government and banking, up to
advanced SaaS products.

What is the difference in the size of the team working on a platformOS
Application compared to custom development of the same application?

Since platformOS provides automated DevOps out of the box, you do not need as
many senior backend developers as in the typical team, because the
infrastructure is already configured and accessible via GraphQL.Most
importantly, you require absolutely zero expensive DevOps engineers.

Can platformOS be used for Single Page Applications (SPA)?

Yes, platformOS provides all the necessary tools to build SPA. On platformOS you
can use any frontend framework you like, like React, Angular, Vue, etc., and
leverage GraphQL to build and run your backend API.

Can platformOS be used for mobile app development?

Yes, on platformOS you can build backend API that will be consumed by any client
- browser, mobile applications. To allow you to build a great and secure
experience for your customers, we support service workers, WebSockets, JWT,
OAuth.

Can platformOS integrate with our existing systems?

Yes, the power of platformOS is its flexibility. We achieved it by allowing you
to send Api Calls over HTTP(s) using GraphQL. You have full control of the
request’s payload and headers. Most importantly, you can process the response
and implement the logic depending on the result - which might be saving
something to the database, triggering another Api Call etc.

What technologies do platformOS support?

For the FrontEnd, you can use any technology you like - you own the build
process of the assets, so you can use any preprocessors and postprocessors for
CSS and JS, any framework like React, Angular, Vue, etc..

For the server side, we have implemented GraphQL queries and mutations that
allow you to integrate with every infrastructure component. As a server-side
glue code for full flexibility, you can leverage Liquid


DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

I don’t have my own Development Team at the moment. Can I still use platformOS?

We have internal development teams who specialize in delivering high-quality
MVPs to set you up for success. We can start working on your unique business
rules from day 1, because the secure and scalable infrastructure is already in
place. By choosing us you don’t have to be afraid of MVP success - we will be
able to handle large increases in traffic and amount of data.

Will I be able to bring up my own Development Team?

Absolutely. At any point, you can get full access to the code and will be able
to leverage the full power of the platform we have built.

How long does it take to onboard a Developer to be able to effectively use
platformOS?

By leveraging GraphQL as a way to communicate with the infrastructure and using
Liquid to write glue code, the cognitive load for a new developer is greatly
reduced compared to an equivalent system that is custom-built. Thanks to our
interactive onboarding and award-winning documentation, we are confident that we
can teach even junior developers how to work with platformOS code and deploy it
within hours. Typically it would take a few weeks for a junior developer to
become properly productive - this depends on the complexity of the application
itself and the developer.


DEVELOPING SOFTWARE

What skills a successful platformOS Developer should have?

Our main goal in platformOS is to reduce cognitive load for developers as much
as possible. We have done it by using GraphQL and Liquid as an abstraction layer
for the hard parts of backend programming - DevOps, SecOps, Database Management,
Session Management, etc.  Developers working on platformOS have to focus on
implementing business logic, meaning a successful developer would have strong
problem-solving skills. GraphQL and Liquid were designed to be easy to use and
learn and are successfully used by big players like Facebook, Shopify,
Microsoft, and IBM.

On top of that, we have created tools like pos-cli, platformos-check to make it
easy even for junior developers to build advanced applications using platformOS
successfully.

Why have you chosen Liquid for server-side code execution?

The main reason is security - Liquid operates within a sandbox-like environment,
ensuring that only explicitly allowed operations are executed. Unlike many
programming languages such as Python, PHP, and Java, Liquid is tailored for
enhanced security. It's a great fit for us, because it allows us to provide
multi-tenant environments, enabling each customer to access code without risking
unauthorized data access from other tenants.

Can I access GraphQL directly?

Yes, our GUI available via pos-cli is making use of that. By default it would
require the developer’s token, however in one minute, one can create a custom
endpoint that would invoke GraphQL provided as a parameter, and add any
authentication and authorization to it as needed.

Can I write custom SQL?

At this stage we do not allow accessing the database directly - one needs to use
GraphQL to perform DB operations. There are multiple reasons for this, the most
important ones are that we can optimize indexes/queries behind the scenes and
that each of the environments is multi-tenant by default.

How does platformOS make my application secure?

There are many secure defaults, which protect developers from introducing
vulnerabilities to the application powered by platformOS. To name a few:

 * All variables are by default escaped, preventing various types of XSS Attack
 * User built-in model handles industry best practices like hashing the password
   with a one-way hashing function before persisting it, provides a secure
   implementation for authentication either by email/password, JWT, including
   2FA support etc.
 * A new session is created when a user logs in, preventing all kinds of session
   fixation attacks
 * Each POST endpoint requires CSRF Token to prevent a potential Cross-Site
   Request Forgery attack.
 * Due to the usage of GraphQL, an application powered by platformOS is not
   vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks, because developers do not write SQLs,
   and we ensure with static analysis tools that implementation of the graphql
   mutations/query does not make it possible to perform SQL injection.

Can I use my own AWS/Azure/Google Cloud account for platformOS?

Yes, we claim that we are provider agnostic, and platformOS Stack can be hosted
on any infrastructure provider. Contact us to discuss details.

Can platformOS run on-prem?

Yes, contact us to discuss details.
