OutSystems Developer Newsletter - October 2024

After ONE, another opportunity to meet the community - Developer Days Lisbon

With the excitement of ONE in the rearview mirror, there is a lot to look forward to on the road ahead! If you weren’t able to attend the conference in person, you can catch up on interviews with OutSystems team members, leadership, and developers from the Decoded: Live at ONE live stream. Both days of coverage are available on YouTube , so check them out to see what you missed.

Of course, the biggest news from ONE was the announcement of Mentor! Mentor is the first full SDLC digital worker, letting you generate apps from prompts or a requirements document, iterate with AI-powered suggestions, and more. Learn more about the early access program for this transformative new approach that makes software development feel like magic.

Speaking of magic, OutSystems has been named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner? Magic Quadrant? for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms (LCAPs). This is the eighth consecutive year that OutSystems has been positioned as a Leader. This year, we are positioned furthest to the right among 13 low-code vendors for Completeness of Vision.
