Why

A “dual-track” approach is essential to digital transformation, pairing traditional, IT-led grand scale transformation with a new form of business-led “rapid cycle innovation”.

Mission

Enable citizen development.

How

Metadata driven architecture and REPL alike runtime engine.

In the past, we describe our business with code; with FlexDB, we describe our business with metadata and FlexDB translates metadata into runtime on the fly.

Requirement ------------->  code  -> Business
          |
          V
Requirement -> metadata -> [code] -> Business

Getting Started

Try it out first (requires docker...)

docker run -d --name flexsql -e MYSQL_DATABASE=easyapp -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=1 mysql:5.7
docker run -it --user 10001 -p 10001:8000 dddplus/flexdb:latest

Building from Source

go install github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/go-bindata

go get github.com/agile-app/flexdb
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/agile-app/flexdb
go env -w GOPRIVATE=*.gitlab.com,*.gitee.com
