The future of enterprise applications lies not in heavy-weight monolithic application architectures; it lies in lightweight collaborative micro-agent architectures in which business functionality is developed, deployed and managed in an agile, flexible and continuous manner. The X Platform™ delivers both the lowest latency application and the fastest development. The X Platform™ makes it simple to build transactional or streaming based applications. As a result, developer productivity stems from: - No need to think about mapping state to a persistence tier (no O-R mapping, no serialization frameworks, or distributed caching headaches. They use plain old java objects (POJOs) and can treat them as if changes to them are durable. - No need to think about mapping into the messaging tier. Messages are also just plain old java objects. - No need to think about threading or concurrency. Applications developers simply write business handlers that respond to a POJO message, update state by manipulating POJOs and send outbound messages by creating POJOs … just business logic that doesn’t have any infrastructure bleed. Then The X Platform™ lets you spin them up with no compromise to performance, reliability, and availability.
