Overview
The architecture of Bizagi Modeler offers a series of technical features that provide a highly secure, reliable, and scalable Platform As A Service.
Bizagi Modeler is designed to be cloud-centric which means that its full potential is achieved working as a cloud service.
A service oriented architecture
Bizagi Modeler introduces a service-oriented architecture, which was designed and built for the cloud.
By implementing a layered domain-centric architecture, Bizagi Modeler produces a services that is easy to maintain and is in continuous improvement according to the clients requirements, while leveraging modern services which enhance security, reliability, and scalability.
This structure and architecture enable Bizagi's continuous delivery process that keeps up with the demands of software evolution.
Given that everything changes in the digital world at a significant pace, a service-oriented architecture design, along with implementation of agile development programmers, makes Bizagi Modeler a flexible service that quickly adapts to new business or IT requirements.
Service orientation has been proven to be an approach fit for the cloud, due to the flexibility inherent in loosely-coupled architecture.
Though powered by Azure (as its Infrastructure As A Service provider) and managed by Bizagi, Bizagi Modeler takes it one step further by building a Bizagi service layer on top of some of the robust Azure services being leveraged.
