Overview
Mendix is a cloud-native, full-stack, enterprise-grade, low-code platform. It helps your professional developers and business technologists build tens or even hundreds of enterprise-grade web and mobile apps at speed and scale, all running on a single platform. It makes app development up to 10x faster, which means you can build more apps and keep up with business demand, but it also encourages more business-IT collaboration, which leads to better apps with higher user adoption and better business outcomes.

Mendix and Siemens Mendix is used by 4000+ customers across all industries - from banking, financial services and insurance to public sector and retail - but also has a strong focus on manufacturing since it was acquired by Siemens in 2019. Mendix is the low-code platform of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio and comes with pre-built integrations to other Xcelerator products, like Teamcenter PLM, Opcenter MES and Insights Hub IoT (formerly known as MindSphere). Interestingly, after the acquisition, Siemens also started using Mendix internally. Four years later, they now have 580+ apps in production - all running on AWS - with 300+ more on the way.

Mendix and AWS Mendix is fully cloud-native, with containerized apps that can be deployed in a public cloud, private cloud, on premise and even on edge devices. The cloud deployment options include a highly automated and fully managed public cloud, called Mendix Cloud, which has run on AWS since 2016. Customers who prefer to deploy apps in their own AWS account can do that with the Mendix on Amazon EKS Reference Deployment . Over 75% of Mendix customers run their apps on Mendix Cloud, their AWS private cloud or a combination of both. As a Siemens business, Mendix is also a key part of the Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) Siemens signed with AWS in 2021. As a result, Mendix now has a dedicated AWS development team, which aims to make Mendix the fastest and easiest way to build apps on AWS. This has resulted in a rich set of Mendix connectors to 20+ AWS services and an AWS Workshop , which teaches AWS builders how to use them and get started with Mendix for free. To do this, they will need the Mendix IDE, called Studio Pro. Normally, developers download it on their own machines, but they can also use the Studio Pro AMI to run it on Amazon EC2.

Mendix for SAP Mendix has been SAP's main partner for low-code development since 2017, and that partnership continues to this day. Many customers use Mendix as an innovation layer on top of multiple SAP instances, as well as non-SAP systems, rather than customizing SAP itself. Some are still on SAP ECC and preparing to migrate to cloud and/or SAP S/4HANA. Others are already on S/4HANA and using Mendix to "keep the core clean". Common use cases for Mendix are things which are typically hard to do in SAP, like native mobile apps with offline capability and apps for external business partners, like customers, suppliers and logistics service providers. Mendix supports the latest SAP Fiori design theme, called SAP Horizon, but for external users, customers often prefer to use their own, company-branded design system. In short, Mendix is often used to make SAP more accessible and user-friendly. Mendix can co-exist with SAP's own development technologies, such as SAP Build, Fiori, CAP and RAP, but it has three important benefits as a separate innovation layer on top of SAP. Firstly, it's an all-in-one platform, covering all use cases and DevOps activities in a single platform instead of a collection of tools with varying levels of integration. Secondly, it's all low-code, rather than a mix of low-code tools with high-code tools, which will still be needed for many use cases. Lastly, it's ideal for SAP and non-SAP alike, without (the perception of) being opinionated towards one at the expense of the other. More on Mendix for SAP
Pricing Mendix pricing is designed to be simple, fair, transparent and predictable. The main pricing metric is the number of end users in production apps. There are different user types for internal and external users and users can be licensed on a "single app" or "unlimited apps" basis. This listing shows a sample pricing for unlimited apps, but it's not intended for public offers.

Experience with Mendix Platform
The best part what I like about Mendix is TAT(Turn around time) of the project. With help of Mendix, we can easily deliver an application in a span of 3 weeks from scratch right from development to deployment which usually takes months in case of traditional coding.
Mendix has a powerful offering as PaaS model where one has to be bothered for application and its data management and rather it is maintained by Mendix which helps in achieving less TAT (Turn around time) of the project.
A robust platform for visual development
Swiss army knife that beats high-coding in a ton of situations
Mendix should not be confused with no-code or limited low-code platforms. You may build a custom application from the ground up. It will allow you to cut corners and reach your ROI much faster. If the platform can't provide a solution out of the box, know that the tech stack is Java, SQL, and JavaScript, so extending the server-side logic with Java or the client-side logic with JavaScript is still possible. As enterprise apps and even small business apps never work alone, integrations are effortless to achieve. By default, REST, OData, SOAP and DB connections are supported out of the box.
As I use the platform daily and I have done so for 14 years, I know it inside and out. I have even had short projects supplying Mendix R&D with my skill set. And have been appointed MVP since June this year. This is a fantastic program to support ecosystem developers with direct lines to Mendix R&D to achieve a quick feedback loop and an even better platform.
Even if you are not ready to buy Mendix yet it is super easy to get started, after you have build your first app, perhaps based on an Excel you have been struggling with you may deploy it to a sandbox and share the results with the rest of the world.
Mendix is a full platform not just a coding language, allowing me to build, deploy, test, maintain and manage the whole software lifecycle.
