Progress
today announced that Modulus™,
its premier Node.js platform as a service (PaaS), now supports multiple
application languages utilizing Docker, delivering a complete app
deployment platform for the whole enterprise. Organizations that have
come to rely on the Modulus platform for their Node.js support now have
a single dedicated, secure and compliance-ready environment to deploy,
scale and monitor all their applications.
With the addition of multiple language support via Docker, the wildly
popular open Modulus platform to build, ship and run distributed
applications can better enable enterprise developers to use one platform
to manage multiple development projects globally. The Modulus platform
now extends proven capabilities such as auto scaling, load balancing,
dedicated, secure environments and a compliance-ready platform to other
programming languages.
“Docker is committed to providing developers and sysadmins with the
tools needed to liberate them from infrastructure concerns and improve
all aspects of the application development lifecycle,” said Nick
Stinemates, Head of Business Development and Technical Alliances at
Docker. “By adding support for Docker into its Modulus platform,
Progress has extended the benefits of Node.js to a wider audience of
developers, providing developers with new efficiencies and a simplified
development pipeline.”
Enterprises need to have applications supported by multiple platforms.
The ability to integrate on-premises information systems and cloud-based
services is vital for long term growth. Progress has built on the
Node.js heritage of the Modulus platform to provide a truly complete app
deployment platform for the enterprise.
“Multiple language support is not a nice to have, it is a requirement.
Allowing developers to focus on building apps while eliminating the pain
of deploying and managing the apps is key – it saves precious time,
money and resources,” said Karen Tegan Padir, President, Application
Development and Deployment Business Unit, Progress. “The latest release
of the Modulus platform leverages the popular Docker technology to bring
the benefits of the Modulus platform to more development languages and
expands the ability for Modulus platform clients to leverage the
platform for their entire enterprise. It’s the ideal solution for those
looking to develop for the new generation of business and consumer apps.”
With this release, Progress has also made it easy to expand the Modulus
platform with additional functionality and supports the build processes
in addition to straight deployment. Progress also announced recently
that Modulus platform users who are deploying in Asia-Pacific can take
advantage of the cloud infrastructure of leading hosting provider DigitalOcean,
further solidifying the global presence of the Modulus platform.
