Journey

Journey is a cloud-based platform designed to facilitate the development and deployment of custom enterprise applications. It allows developers to build apps rapidly using an online IDE, which are then dynamically rendered across various devices, including desktop, mobile, web, and wearable devices. This platform is particularly suited for creating Business-to-Employee (B2E) and Business-to-Business (B2B) apps, providing employees and customers with streamlined access to business processes.

A key feature of Journey is its global automatic data synchronization capability, known as PowerSync. This ensures that data is centrally stored in a cloud datastore and automatically synchronized with user devices, allowing for offline access and seamless updates across all platforms. Additionally, Journey supports serverless tasks through CloudCode, a Node.js environment that enables integrations with external services, bulk operations, and report generation.

The platform provides multiple environments for testing, staging, and production, ensuring that development and live data are kept separate. Building an app on Journey involves customizing the data model and views, which define the app's data structure and user interface logic, respectively. This approach streamlines the development process, allowing for rapid iteration and deployment of app changes directly to user devices.
