When new application developers join your team, how long does it take them to create their first application? Is there an extended training and on-boarding period while new junior or even experienced developers come up-to-speed on the various tools and design experiences being used across by your business?
In order to reduce these lengthy training periods and increase developer productivity, we are seeing more and more businesses empower their developers to utilize widely popular open-source tools like Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code). In fact, for the sixth year in a row, Microsoft VS Code has been ranked as the most popular integrated developer experience (IDE) in the 2024 Stack Overflow developer survey with more than 2x the number of users as the next closest competitor.
Any developer joining a new team most likely already has experience using VS Code—continue reading below to discover how you can enable your TIBCO developers with a new experience using this familiar tool to maximize their productivity from day one.
Build your TIBCO Flogo apps with VS Code
TIBCO Flogo® Enterprise is an intuitive and visual design environment based on open-source Project Flogo that allows developers to rapidly develop modern APIs, microservices, and applications. TIBCO Flogo was designed from the ground up to be:
- Developer friendly: Agile and extensible design experience with a robust open-source community consisting with 1000s of contributions
- Effortlessly event driven: 100s of triggers, rules, and actions to process and respond to valuable business data in real time
- Optimized for cloud-native: Extremely lightweight memory footprint, <30 MB with ~15 ms startup time, ideal for microservice development and serverless deployments
TIBCO Flogo continues to build on these design principals by empowering developers with their preferred design experience through the recently released TIBCO Flogo Extension for VS Code. This extension means that your developers can use the same VS Code design experience that they already know and love when building mission-critical TIBCO® Platform—Integration applications.
The TIBCO Flogo extension for VS Code enables users to:
- Accelerate development with a single and integrated VS Code design environment
- Deploy to serverless deployment targets including AWS lambda, Azure Functions, GCP Functions, Pulsar Functions, and more
- Create modern gRPC, GraphQL, and OpenAPI (REST) experience layer services
- Design, build, and test TIBCO Flogo applications offline and locally
- Connect to multiple runtimes to view, develop, and export applications
