It\u2019s Fastify\u2019s extensibility and plug-in architecture that enables the team to build this new platform, the company explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn today\u2019s digital world, businesses of all shapes and sizes are undergoing digital transformation initiatives in order to keep at pace with the growing need to deliver robust, reliable and scalable software,\u201d write the founders. \u201cHowever, with application architectures moving from monolithic to distributed, building and operating these distributed backends is becoming increasingly complex. While frontend application development has benefitted from modern frameworks and platforms, backend development has lagged far behind due to its complex and rigid nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

The promise of Platformatic is that it abstracts away all of the routine work of setting up the back-end infrastructure, database integrations, authentication, security settings, API gateways, observability and more, and allows developers to focus on writing their code, no matter where it will later run.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlatform engineering teams keep reinventing the wheel with components that are virtually identical across companies,\u201d said Decibel partner Sudip Chakrabarti. \u201cIt holds developers back from building products that make an impact. Platformatic offers the best of all worlds: a great developer experience and peace of mind for enterprises with lower dependency risks and deployment costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The platform includes the Platformatic Runtime and Runtime API for consolidating an enterprise\u2019s Node.js applications and microservices into a single unit; Platformatic Taxonomy for creating a visual map of these microservices and how they are connected; Platformatic Composition for composing these microservices into one ecosystem with a single API; and Platformatic Cloud, the company\u2019s cloud environment for deploying these Node.js applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe plan to build Platformatic such that it just works out-of-the-box and yet provides all the reliability, security and scalability that developers and enterprises so desperately need,\u201d said Maraschi. \u201cAdditionally, while the out-of-the-box Platformatic experience provides an opinionated view of how distributed backends should be, it allows for customizations to address bespoke enterprise needs. Our goal is to be \u2018opinionated without being prescriptive\u2019 and the rich plug-in ecosystem around Fastify provides the best platform to accomplish that vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
