As an application platform, Domino has always been unique and has had the flexibility and capabilities that other platforms can only dream about. Bundled into one single application server, you have all the components that you need for building and running applications, both in the client-server and web/mobile environment. On one platform you have:
All of this can fit into and run in this tiny box that is less than the size of an external hard drive. Try this with any of the other platforms. Maybe scale it by a factor of 100?
Notes power users were doing low-code decades before it became a buzz word. In fact Notes users were creating applications, even before most of the companies and software that we use everyday even existed.
Unfortunately, Domino has fallen behind. However, with HCL taking over our favorite platform, Domino is catching up and HCL will be releasing their Domino Volt soon. If you are fortunate enough to attend Engage 2020 and signed up for the Domino Volt workshop, you will be able to experience what HCL has been working on for low-code for Domino developers.
From the POV of a company that has been working on process automation for 20 years and using Domino as our primary platform, Domino Volt is a good start for Notes Developers. We started creating low-code on Domino about 15 years ago but not the concept that most think of these days.
We started with componentizing all the code that we created for clients so that they can be reused and selected based on customers needs. We started focusing more on the customer business rather than on programming. At that time it was a Notes client solution which we then evolved into a Web solution which is now known as iPhora.
Since we deal with complex business processes, we further had to create methodologies to handle these processes which became more and more complex. So we created an architecture that was modular and interchangeable. Domino with its flexibility was ideal. NoSQL really is the way to go. Domino databases are the analogy to Docker instances which help organize applications. The concept of a Domino database is very hard for individual outside of the Domino world to comprehend. Only after they start using do they comprehend the power.
Based on our experience and designs, last year we developed the iPhora opus4 Node processor to handle all functions and processes as nodes where users regardless of skill level can use to assembly applications and processes. Then we developed an interface to manage this nodes.
The results is iPhora Flow, a Domino-based flow-based solution for citizen to professional developers to rapidly create applications. This video is a sneak preview of iPhora Flow which is the first of a series of products. iPhora Flow runs on top of iPhora AppPlace and after you build your application you can immediate deploy the application full secured by iPhora Security.
By the way, iPhora is powered by LotusScript and Java. Sorry for the typo in the video, but we were in a rush to complete the video and edit it in 4 hours. And, yes you can normally change it with the process designer.
