Entando enables you to thrive in the Capability Economy
Enhance agility and build value by leveraging composable business capabilities in your applications
How Does It Work?
The Entando Platform's composable application lifecycle involves four stages: Create, Curate, Compose, and Consume. This process is not linear but agile and iterative, especially for organizations further along their composability journey.
Creators build new application components and bundle existing code into reusable building blocks, free to choose the technologies that meet their needs.
Curators organize bundles and components to share and reuse across teams and projects. Components can be sourced internally or from the Entando Cloud Hub which offers a selection of pre-built solutions that can be easily integrated into any application.
Composers utilize the curated bundles and components to assemble a seamless and cohesive user experience across a complex application.
End-users interact with the application, consuming its features to perform tasks and achieve their objectives.
What is Platform Architecture?
Entando is a modern, open-source development and runtime platform tailored for Kubernetes providers. It streamlines the process of building, reusing, and assembling applications on Kubernetes. Acting as a bundle orchestrator, Entando simplifies the development, deployment, and management of applications composed of modular bundles. Each bundle represents a self-contained collection of components serving distinct functionalities or services, all coordinated seamlessly by Entando to create cohesive applications.
