Rappit Developer is a comprehensive framework and toolset that enables faster, better and efficient application development. It provides a set of pre-built components, templates, and best practices to streamline the development process and accelerate time-to-market for software applications. Rappit Developer incorporates best practices and design patterns, ensuring the development process is efficient and optimized. Rappit Developer is not a prompt-based code generator like ChatGPT but generates enterprise-grade code based on an application model created in the Rappit Developer Design Studio.

Rappit Developer can be used to develop a wide range of applications, including web applications, enterprise software, and custom solutions. It is versatile and flexible enough to accommodate various business requirements and technology stacks. Application complexity can range anywhere from simple web apps to large scale, complex enterprise applications.

Yes, Rappit Developer can integrate with existing systems via multiple methods. This includes simple data import/export capabilities with file/folder listeners and full support for REST-based API integrations. This enables our customers to leverage existing infrastructure and applications while building new solutions.

Rappit Developer fully supports cloud deployment and is finely tuned to operate on – and natively integrate with – the Google Cloud Platform.

Rappit Developer currently does not support on-prem applications.

Yes, Rappit is ideally suited for agile software development. Its modular architecture and pre-built components facilitate iterative and incremental development. Rappit enables rapid prototyping with continuous integration and deployment, making it an ideal choice for agile development teams.

Rappit Developer generates YAML scripts for GitLab or GitHub CI/CD pipelines. The CI/CD scripts are currently optimized for deployment on Google Cloud.

Depending on the application – and based on current customer cases – Rappit Developer can accelerate development productivity by up to a factor of 4. Rappit does not aim to replace skilled developers but rather helps alleviate their workload and speed up development projects:
a) Business analysts can manage a significant portion of the application development process through detailed requirements gathering and prototyping;
b) Application code can be generated to a point where skilled developers can focus on value-added functional code, such as data transformation routines, computations, or integrations.

Rappit Developer creates PWA-based responsive applications for running apps on mobile browsers. Rappit Developer does not create native mobile apps. For optional publication in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, off-the-shelf tools are available for creating manifest files, such as PWABuilder or Google’s Bubblewrap.

As an alternative, PWA apps support being “installed” on a browser when an app is accessed for the first time. Once PWA apps are “installed”, an icon will be added to the desktop or mobile phone home screen, which can subsequently be clicked/tapped by the user to start the app. In this case, the app will run on a “headless browser”, which runs the app in a browser without showing the browser’s address bar or toolbars.
