WaveMaker is an enterprise grade Java low code platform for building software applications and platforms. WaveMaker Inc. is headquartered in Mountain View, California. For enterprises, WaveMaker is a low code platform that aims to accelerate their app development and IT modernization efforts. For ISVs, it is a consumable low code component that can sit inside their product and offer customizations. WaveMaker Platform is a licensed software that enables organizations to run their own end-to-application platform-as-a-service (aPaaS) for building and running custom apps. It also allows developers and business users to create apps that can be extended or customized. Those apps can consume APIs, visualize data and automatically support multi-device responsive interfaces. WaveMaker's low code platform enables organizations to deploy applications on public or private cloud infrastructure, and containers can be deployed on top of virtual machines or on bare metal. The software provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) console to manage the IT app infrastructure and capabilities based on Docker containerization. The solution provides features for app deployment automation, app lifecycle management, release management, deployment workflow and access rights, including: * Apps for web, tablet, and smartphone interfaces * Enterprise technologies like Java,

WaveMaker Studio

WaveMaker RAD Platform is built around WaveMaker Studio, a WYSIWYG rapid development tool that allows computer-literate business users to compose an application using a drag-and-drop method. WaveMaker Studio supports rapid application development (RAD) for the web, similar to what products like PowerBuilder and Lotus Notes provided for client server computing. WaveMaker Studio allows developers to produce an application once, then auto-adjust it for a particular target platform, whether a PC, mobile phone, or tablet. Applications created using the WaveMaker Studio follow a
