AppMaster 2023 Recap
Discover AppMaster's 2023 achievements and exciting plans for 2024!
It's been a big year for AppMaster!
Our team wishes you a Happy New Year! We'd like to share with you our achievements from the past year and our plans for 2024.
Highlights
- Launched a completely new web application designer with significantly improved performance and security
- A direct DBMS editor has been released - now you can edit records in the database without creating the corresponding logic or business processes
- Added more than 500 new business process blocks, including the ability to directly execute SQL queries and JavaScript code and work with JSON and Geo data types
- Launched a completely redesigned version of the cryptography module - Crypto v2 with support for many modern encryption methods, key generation, and signature (NIST Best Practices)
- Significantly improved our infrastructure for hosted applications, adding new mechanisms for application provisioning (Launch Reports) and even more container isolation
- Moved custom domains to Cloudflare and added the ability to enable CDN and WAF for all applications
- Migrated the logging infrastructure to Loki
- Added performance metrics collection to every backend app with historical data in Prometheus
- Almost reached 120k registered users on the platform!
For 2024
- Support for backend microservices - you can create an unlimited number of backend applications in a project
- New web application designer with full support for multithreading and adaptive layouts
- New mobile application designer: even more flexibility for design customization, support for plug-in SDKs and modules, offline mode, and much more
- Visual designer for SQL queries
- Project-wide real-time collaboration
- i18n support for the entire project - backend, web, and mobile applications
- New External API Requests Designer with support for REST API, gRPC, WebSocket, MQTT, NATS, queries to third-party DBs (PG, My/MARIA, MS, REDIS, Mongo) and automatic import from Swagger and Proto files
2024 will be a great year for our platform as AppMaster becomes a truly mature solution with rich functionality, outstanding performance, and state of the art security.
FAQ
What did AppMaster release in 2023?AppMaster launched a new web application designer, a direct database editor, and more than 500 business process blocks. The platform also improved hosted-app infrastructure, custom-domain controls, logging, and backend performance metrics.
What can I do with the new DBMS editor?The direct DBMS editor lets you view and edit database records without first building a business process or separate app logic. It helps teams make controlled data changes faster during development and operations.
What do the new business process blocks add?The new blocks let you build more logic visually, including SQL queries, JavaScript execution, JSON handling, and Geo data work. Use them when standard blocks do not cover a specific workflow.
What is Crypto v2?Crypto v2 adds modern encryption methods, key generation, and digital signatures following NIST best practices. You can use it to protect sensitive values and add cryptographic steps to application workflows.
How did hosting improve in 2023?AppMaster added stronger provisioning tools and more container isolation for hosted applications. These changes aim to make deployments more predictable and keep applications better separated from one another.
What changed for custom domains?AppMaster moved custom domains to Cloudflare and lets application owners enable CDN and WAF options. A CDN can speed up content delivery, while a WAF helps filter unwanted web traffic.
How can I monitor an AppMaster backend?The platform migrated logging to Loki and added Prometheus performance metrics to every backend application. Teams can review logs and historical metrics when they investigate errors or slow requests.
How many users did AppMaster reach?AppMaster reported that it nearly reached 120,000 registered users during 2023. That figure reflects registered platform accounts, not necessarily active applications or paid subscriptions.
What microservices support was planned for 2024?AppMaster planned support for multiple backend applications within one project, enabling a microservices approach. This lets teams split separate areas of an application into independently designed backend services.
What other features were planned for 2024?The 2024 plans included redesigned web and mobile builders, visual SQL queries, real-time project collaboration, project-wide language support, and a new external API request designer. The API tool was planned to support protocols such as REST, gRPC, WebSocket, MQTT, and NATS, plus third-party database connections.
