WaveMaker platform's one-click deploy feature now enables applications to be deployed to Kubernetes clusters on Digital Ocean cloud.

You can configure the deployment topology as per your requirement and then with a single button click, WaveMaker platform's deploy feature generates the docker files needed to build images, generates the K8S YAML files needed for deployment and triggers the K8S APIs for deployment. Customer's don't have to write even a single line of K8S YAML file!!

WaveMaker offers a pre-defined set of delivery phases which enables team a progression through Demo, Stage and Live phase. This let's you thoroughly verify your apps before taking them to the live environment.

Demo phase uses WaveMaker's internal cloud. But the Stage and Live phases need to be configured to use your own AWS, Azure or GCP accounts. To this list of cloud providers to choose from, we are now adding Digital Ocean. This is the first Kubernetes based cloud provider supported by the WaveMaker Platform.

Let us introduce you to the DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster and walk you through the benefits of a Kubernetes based cloud provider and its deployments.

Deployment is a process which enables the developers to serve the apps to users. With the latest release, WaveMaker has made the discovery of deployment failures in the application fast & easy.

WaveMaker now supports integration with OpenAPIs. If you have an OpenAPI definition document for your REST APIs, it can be easily integrated with a WaveMaker app. The OpenAPI Specification, originally known as the Swagger Specification, is a specification for machine-readable interface files for describing, producing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful web services.

Problem​

Apple deprecated UIWebView and introduced WKWebView. Starting from April 1st, 2020, Apple stopped accepting all new apps that have references to UIWebView. From December 2020, Apple will stop accepting app updates that have references to UIWebView. The current version Cordova that is used in WaveMaker, uses UIWebView by default.

A real-world application is composed of multiple modules. Changes or upgrades to a given module can impact other modules and add more testing effort to the development timeline. Including a new technology into the existing app might be challenging as the existing app might not include all support, such as the build process.

We released the new WaveMaker Docs site on the 14 November 2019. We migrated from WordPress to Docusaurus with easy-to-edit markdown files. This change has also increased the contributions from our team members.

WaveMaker is evolving with new changes and updates to the product frequently. We are trilled to introduce the team blog feed for more specific and detailed technical stuff directly from the developers.

Stay up-to-date about the product and know what's happening inside our WaveMaker towers. Our team will keep you posted.
