WaveMaker is a Java-based low-code development platform designed for building software applications and platforms. The company, WaveMaker Inc., is based in Mountain View, California. The platform is intended to assist enterprises in speeding up their application development and IT modernization initiatives through low-code capabilities. Additionally, for independent software vendors (ISVs), WaveMaker serves as a customizable low-code component that seamlessly integrates into their products.
The WaveMaker Platform is a licensed software solution empowering organizations to establish their own end-to-application platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for the creation and operation of custom apps.[1] It facilitates developers and business users in crafting apps that are extendable and customizable. These applications can seamlessly consume APIs, visualize data, and automatically adapt to multi-device responsive interfaces.[2]
WaveMaker's low-code platform empowers organizations to deploy applications on either public or private cloud infrastructure. Containers can be deployed on top of virtual machines or directly on bare metal.[2] The software features a Graphical User Interface (GUI) console for managing IT app infrastructure, leveraging the capabilities of Docker containerization.[1]
The solution offers functionalities for automating application deployment, managing the application lifecycle, overseeing release management, and controlling deployment workflows and access permissions:[1][3]
WaveMaker RAD Platform is built around WaveMaker Studio, a WYSIWYG rapid development tool that allows computer-literate business users to compose an application using a drag-and-drop method.[4] WaveMaker Studio supports rapid application development (RAD) for the web, similar to what products like PowerBuilder and Lotus Notes provided for client-server computing.[5]
WaveMaker Studio allows developers to produce an application once, then auto-adjust it for a particular target platform, whether a PC, mobile phone, or tablet.[4] Applications created using the WaveMaker Studio follow a model–view–controller architecture.
WaveMaker Studio has been downloaded more than two million times. The Studio community consists of 30,000 registered users.[6] Applications generated by WaveMaker Studio are licensed under the Apache license.[7]
