Apprenda is a private platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that transforms how enterprises can develop, deliver and manage next generation cloud applications.
Apprenda was founded by a team of software engineers frustrated with reinventing the wheel after working on a series of projects that took existing on-premises software applications to a multi-tenant SaaS model. They realized that the bulk of their effort was focused on complex tasks un-related to the actual applications functionality or business value, but absolutely critical to the ongoing cost of providing access to the software as a service. These platform issues such as multi-tenancy (for sharing a single instance of the codebase and a single database across multiple clients and many end users); user and role management; metering and billing capabilities; and scaling properties occupied 60%+ of the development time and up to 80% of the codebase.
The founding Apprendans decided to abstract away all of these platform issues by creating a middleware technology that would allow developers to focus on UI and business logic rather than lower level platform issues. This vector of innovation is fundamentally a continuation of the improvements made to software development achieved by the introduction of the operating system for desktop applications and the application server for web applications. Apprenda is the modern abstraction layer for applications in the cloud era.
