The webinar explored how product teams can efficiently build and deliver scalable, maintainable digital products using the Jmix platform. It focused on solving common problems in B2B software delivery like managing endless client customizations, code forks, and growing maintenance costs.
Viktor Fadeev, Jmix Product Manager, introduced Jmix as a rapid app development platform for Java teams. It combines a powerful framework, visual Studio plugin for IntelliJ, and a marketplace of ready-made add-ons. With Jmix, teams can build digital products faster, with a clear structure and using full-stack tools.
The session covered three key delivery models supported by Jmix:
Extension Model
Package core functionality into reusable add-ons, and allow client-specific extensions without changing the base code. Great for niche products where each client has different needs.
SaaS Model
Use Jmix’s built-in multi-tenancy features to deliver one shared application for many clients. Ideal for scaling across SMBs. But as the product grows, you’ll need to manage challenges like performance, database scaling, and customization limits.
Self-Hosted Model
Perfect for industries with strict regulations. Deliver isolated deployments with full control and source code access. Jmix’s composite projects help split large systems into manageable modules, reducing duplication and improving development speed.
Key Takeaways
- “Copy-paste and pray” doesn’t scale - modular delivery is essential for long-term success.
- Jmix helps avoid code forks with clear boundaries between core logic and client-specific features.
- Multi-tenancy is available out-of-the-box and works well for SaaS models with minimal customization.
- Composite projects simplify self-hosted delivery, especially for complex enterprise clients.
- Early consulting and training reduce risk - get architecture right from the start.
Summary
Jmix offers the tools and structure needed to quickly deliver robust, scalable digital products. Whether you're targeting niche clients, growing SaaS, or serving regulated industries, picking the right delivery model makes all the difference.
