Building a microservice doesn’t come easy. Neither does it come cheap. Not only that, there is quite a lot of room for costly mistakes as well as project crippling ones. KintoHub promises that will no longer be the case. The Hong Kong based platform has brought together a bevy of tools that can be used to inherently make creating microservices-based apps, etc, less difficult.
The platform realizes that a lot of developers may want to share their creations but might lack the capability. Compatibility even with other platforms can be quite a difficult huddle to get over. However, once a microservice app or API is created on KintoHub it is universally compatible & can be shared with just a few mouse clicks.
KintoBlocks allows programmers to bring together various blocks of code that they might have written separately or may have used different languages to create. The API gateway on the platform is serverless & lets developers comment on bits of their own code. By doing so one can share functionality with other individuals in the KintoHub community.
Working with teams is also supported on this particular tool. People can collaborate, share ideas as well as correct each other when mistakes are made. With KintoHub, software development kits (SDKs) & frameworks will be a thing of the past. Users will be able to start, build & deploy their software from that single platform. It is also very hard to lose data since there is automatic periodic documentation of progress.
With all the above benefits it’s almost hard to believe that the platform is free. For now. Once the platform is out from the ‘aplha’ version, the pricing situation will change.
Leading the development team are Joseph Cooper & Francois Courtin who are the CEO & the COO, respectively. They are also the ones who came up with the idea for the platform in the first place.
A blog post by Joseph Cooper puts the official launch of the final product at some point in the year 2018 while creation of KintoHub started much earlier.
