Platform Features
Let’s figure out what an app is made of 🏗
Typical app consists of front-end and back-end parts. Here it is the top-level diagram of app's parts:

This can be developed on Directual:

  • ​Database.
  • Backend-logic. Real-time and scheduled scenarios (streaming processing) and reports (batch jobs).
  • Role-based access control (in other words—identity management). External identity providers can be connected with (Google auth, Open ID)
  • API-layer. Including API-endpoints and Webhooks.
  • ​Web-portal. Clear and mobile-friendly web-portal.

These parts (if there are such) have to be developed using different platforms or technologies:

  • Web-app. There is variety of frameworks that can be integrated with Directual: React JS, Angular, Vue.js, JQuery, Vanilla JS. Or, you can use such site builders as Webflow, Tilda, Squarespace, etc. Directual web-pages can be embedded in any web-page. Also, Directual provides the boilerplate for React JS.
  • Mobile app: iOS or Android app can use API-methods configured on Directual.
  • Third-party systems can be integrated with backend on Directual.
