Why should IT teams choose between speed and control? Our mandate states that you can have your cake and eat it too. Betty Blocks is extending the benefits of low-code application development beyond the borders of our platform with Betty Blocks Open. Own and control the code you create using the open standards of WebAssembly: no restrictions, no black boxes, no vendor lock-in.
Unlock a new way of developing powerful business apps with Betty Blocks Open:
Eliminate lock-in: Export (parts of) your application and reuse them outside of the Betty Blocks platform.
Interchangeable components: Export and import custom code snippets using a Wasm-based action builder.
Hybrid development: Allow high-coders to contribute to low-code projects and vice versa.
When only pro developers can contribute, it risks delivery timeframes dragging on, and innovation suffers. Break the mold of traditional application development platforms with newfound freedom designed around openness. With Betty Blocks Open, developers are free to use low-code blocks interchangeably to create specific parts of a business application and reuse the assets in a high-code environment.
Traditional platforms trap apps in proprietary systems, making it difficult to migrate or maintain control, leaving you stuck with expensive recurring licensing fees.
Run web apps that require high computing power, such as data processing, Excel-heavy tasks, such as employee platforms, and custom web portals, at native browser speed.
Use non-proprietary, portable components. to embed powerful business logic throughout your apps. Reuse low-code components in off-platform projects and enterprise stacks.
Unlock the full integration of low-code development and its benefits within your tech ecosystem through modular component design, based on WebAssembly capabilities.
Find confidence in driving long-term strategies when enterprise applications are built with open standards and integrate frictionlessly with complex business process models.
Offload manpower-intensive parts to low-code developers who can build using Block Store components, so that high-coders can focus on finessing the performance of complex apps.
Eliminate bias towards developing software in a single language and alleviate strain on bogged-down engineering teams. Support an entirely agnostic team of developers by making any coding language compatible with creating high-performance web applications. Create, run, and deploy web applications in multiple languages, such as C/C++, C#, Python, and Rust, alongside frontend JavaScript components. This way, web apps are able to execute load-heavy CPU tasks at near-native speed.
With frictionless integrations and full support for non-proprietary standards, users enjoy application development freedom by design. Build specific app components, such as client portals, front-facing UI designs, or AI-powered features, using the Betty Blocks low-code platform. Export low-code assets to your high-code stack and deploy them anywhere. Utilize a variety of libraries using Wasm components to connect and orchestrate across existing systems, tools, and teams.
The Wasm-based Action builder lays the foundation for a future-proof IT architecture. Engineers develop Wasm components to support complex business logic in the language of their choice. Low-code developers craft frontend components using the drag-and-drop Page Builder. Together, they combat common pain points encountered in outdated workflows. Break through the rigidity of legacy systems by creating portable, self-contained applications. Augment outdated software using modular design and flexible deployment while maintaining control of the existing IT infrastructure.
Never worry about your app being trapped behind a monthly payment fee. With the freedom of WebAssembly components embedded throughout the Betty Blocks platform, reliance on closed systems is a thing of the past. Maintain ownership of every line of code produced during the development process, from ideation to deployment. Embrace a new way of building applications and deploy them where they run best - today, tomorrow, forever.
The Wasm-based Action Builder serves all sides of the business by alleviating the strain on every member of the IT department. Drive innovative new business strategies with confidence, while ensuring you have the necessary resources to bring them to completion.Speed up any development project by building components directly in the Betty Blocks platform before exporting them to a .wasm file.
Never worry about potential platform lock-in. Execute scalable development strategies that are built to last, thanks to portable business logic in Wasm.
Speed up any development project by rapidly building frontend layouts and UI components directly in the Betty Blocks platform using low-code.
Break free from piling workloads, time constraints, and stifled innovation by broadening what you can achieve with high-code in a low-code platform.
Combat the frustrations that accompany many platform vendors by taking full ownership of the processes and workflows behind enterprise software.
Navigate to the Actions module while you’re logged into your Betty Blocks IDE. Here, you will be able to create an action of the Wasm type. Review the existing Wasm steps in the palette, or add your custom step by uploading your own .wasm file..
Configure the Wasm step as you would with any other custom function you add to the action builder. Add a name, description, icon, and color before submitting the .wasm file. A preview will be shown for your confirmation before uploading.
Once successfully submitted, you’ll be able to use the Wasm step in your application. Drag the Wasm step onto the canvas and define the required variables. Once completed, the Wasm step is now part of a business logic flow in your low-code application.
Choose to export the wasm action of your Betty Blocks application into a high-code environment for a traditional developer to flesh out further. Alternatively, continue running your application on the Betty Blocks platform. The choice is entirely up to you.
