Runtime- & Clustersetup

Probably the biggest benefit you will get from the ODJ is the automatic Runtime- and Clustersetup. Mostly with Kubernetes, the ODJ will setup a hardened cluster for you, by applying Zero Trust principles to make it as secure as possible.

The cluster is already configured in a best practice way with e.g. auto scaling, secure load balancer, MyAPI Integration and much more. Of course, ONE Direction and Neo Principles are applied as well, to help a Software Engineer as much as possible.

Dependency Management

In nearly every application you will need something like a database. In the ODJ this is called a dependency. As all Cloud Providers offer fully managed Services (

), it is clever to use these and not to host and maintain them yourself. In the ODJ you can order some best practices services from the Cloud Provider and in the background the ODJ will provision them for you and connect it to your cluster, so you can use these services as easy as possible.

Secrets Management

As mentioned above, the ODJ automatically connects your dependencies to your runtime. Of course you need to know how to connect to your database and most importantly, what are username and password to have access to? There the secrets management comes in place. The ODJ will automatically store these secrets in a very secret way and they are only available at runtime in environment variables. No need to care about a Keyvault or something else for your own.
