OutSystems Scalability

Bireswar Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Unit Head - Government Business at YASH Technologies

Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature. In one instance, we needed to transition from a single-tenant setup to a multi-tenant one, and we accomplished this seamlessly. The customers were also delighted with the outcome, as we successfully executed the shift from a single-tenant to a multi-tenant configuration.

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

When it comes to the scalability part and its impact on our organization's growth, I can say that the development and implementation timelines are minimalistic, which is something that is good. It is pretty easy to implement anything that a specific client wants with the help of OutSystems. It doesn't take years to implement something with OutSystems since such areas can be dealt with quickly.

From migration to adding internal applications is easy with the product. The platform is very adjustable based on the requirements. The customization levels offered by the product are good. It is possible to distribute the loads in OutSystems.

My company deals with around ten customers who use the product.

The solution is much better suited to enterprise-level organizations.

The product is definitely scalable. You can go from, for example, 10 users to a million users. It's just a matter of how much hardware you put behind it. Everything runs on the cloud. Therefore, you just keep throwing more memory, more disc space, more processing power, et cetera. It's not a problem.

OutSystems is scalable.

In terms of the solution, we went through some minor escalations. It was simple to manage. We have also added some redundancy to our app server, which was simple to set up.

Our company is still small, with a staff of about 50 people. I believe ten of them are developers. They develop, operate, administrate all systems platforms and deployed applications. The remainder, are business units.

OutSystems supports both horizontal and vertical scaling, and I find it quite easy to scale applications when needed. Adding a front-end server to a cluster, for instance, is a straightforward task that takes just a few minutes. As long as you follow OutSystems' recommended application composition and architecture, scalability is not a problem, and I would rate it a solid ten out of ten for scalability. In our company, around eighteen to nineteen developers are actively using OutSystems to develop applications for our customers. For mid-sized applications with OutSystems, you don't require large teams. OutSystems encourages small teams to use agile methodology. Typically, you need an engagement manager, a tech lead, and two to three developers for a medium-sized project. Additionally, a solution architect may be necessary initially, and then one tech lead and two developers are often sufficient for ongoing work.

The scalability of OutSystems is not bad. I know someone who conducted a scalability test. They used SCC Solutions, a telecom company with a great team of developers. They encountered some issues compared to what OutSystems claimed. However, I believe you always need to have a package that can handle more users than OutSystems recommends. 

If they suggest an eight-gigahertz processor, you should go for a better specification. But overall, it's not a major problem. Just make sure to exceed the recommended specifications. OutSystems is widely used in many regions. It's extensively utilized in the UK and Australia, as I have experience working with these countries. However, in some countries, traffic and other factors can make it more challenging.

As a very scalable solution, OutSystems does not provide an already-built infrastructure of modules. Companies should follow OutSystems tips on growing their environments using the concepts of Canvas Architecture.

Canvas Architecture is a very scalable, sustainable, and feasible approach. Companies should use these layouts, but not follow it to the letter. It should be changed according to the company's strategies, depending on the kind of applications they are developing. 

On the other hand, some effort should be made to regularly maintain the norms and standards of the environments. Even with good governance in software development, due to the power and agility of the platform, it is not too easy to keep track of the development team; hence, the importance of a periodic reviews and standard, documented processes.

Technical Lead at Netlink Software Group America Inc

The solution is scalable. If I want to do any changes or anything, it has a one-click publish. There's no need to re-upload anything. We make changes, we expand, and it is a one-click deployment.

Currently, in Bahrain alone, there are 40,000 users on the app. We have the same for other countries as well. We have deployed more production for three entities - Bahrain, Egypt, and the UK. Currently, for the other three entities, it is in progress. We are planning to move those changes at the end of September.

We can add users as necessary. In LifeTime, we're able to handle user management. We're able to create a set of users and we can assign roles. It can be an admin role, like full control where it's able to do publishing, feedbacking, everything. We can receive a set of users and control access to certain areas.

OutSystems is a scalable solution. The solution is auto-scalable regarding the number of users or the volume of data.

I have created an application which is being used by almost 2,00,000 users. That was done for some kind of enterprise wide application where it is being used across the globe. That's the maximum number of users I have created an application for.

The solution can scale. However, the catch is the pricing has become more and more expensive in the last few years. Consumption is increasing, and the price has increased a lot.

We have approximately 200 users using this solution in my company.

KT
Technology Manager at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees

We haven't yet reached the level that we need to seriously consider scaling, but from my experience it isn't so easy to scale any kind of closed platform where you start without the source. They may offer you the source later when migrating, but it's generally not so easy to queue up onto another platform or move to another vendor, so I expect that the scalability in this respect might be lower than we would like.

All platforms and languages have their limitations. If the solution is designed, from the beginning, to scale properly, there will be no problem at all with OutSystems. The way OutSytems works, it is not too hard to scale.

There are certain design standards which, if you don’t follow them, will cause many problems in scaling up your product/application. How you use this product depends on your experience.
