The latest features in Mendix Operations Manager enable customers to automate and standardize the deployment of Mendix apps across their entire Mendix landscape.

Utrecht, May 1, 2023 – Blue Storm, a provider of cloud-based solutions for managing low code platforms, has today released a new version of Mendix Operations Manager (MxOM). The latest features in MxOM enable customers to define app pipelines that automate and standardize the deployment of Mendix apps across their entire Mendix landscape.

“Low code increases the speed with which apps can be developed and deployed, however it doesn’t decrease the need for quality, security, and reliability”, says Andrew Whalen, founder at Blue Storm. “Before low code apps are deployed to acceptance or production environments it is important to ensure that they meet the minimum security and quality standards set for the enterprise. The flexibility of low code can introduce poor quality and sub-standard security if you don’t enforce minimum standards.”

“We’ve introduced automated pipelines in MxOM as the answer to this challenge. By using pipelines you not only simplify the task of deploying new versions of apps, but you also ensure that your low code policies and standards are checked and enforced before deploying apps. This reduces the risk that deployed apps have security vulnerabilities or quality issues that could compromise your IT landscape or organization. Ensuring app security and quality has never been easier.”

The following pipeline features added in this release of MxOM help scale and improve Mendix app governance:

  • Standardize app deployments. Standard pipelines can be defined for all apps, groups of apps, or individual apps that define which tasks should be performed during each release (deployment) of an app.
  • Enforce app policies. Policy checks can be made a mandatory step in a pipeline, ensuring that minimum security and quality standards are met before an app is deployed to production environments.
  • Release management. Pipeline runs are recorded and stored giving a complete overview of all releases for a given app and environment.

The newest version of Mendix Operations Manager is available immediately for no extra charge to existing Blue Storm customers from the Blue Storm Customer Portal.
