Colombo, Sri Lanka – 25 September 2024 – 99x has announced the launch of Product Central, a pioneering development workbench designed to revolutionise how software teams build, deploy, and manage cloud applications. In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, developers are often overwhelmed by repetitive operational tasks that divert attention from creative and value-driven work. Product Central addresses this challenge by automating routine processes, allowing development teams to focus on delivering exceptional digital experiences to their customers.
Product Central is designed to boost developer productivity and reduce human error by providing a unified platform that standardises reference architectures and platform configurations. This end-to-end solution not only streamlines operations but also scales efficiently to meet the demands of modern software development, enabling developers to focus on innovation by eliminating time-consuming setup and deployment tasks and freeing them from the burden of non-value-adding work.
Sachith Perera, Chief Technology Officer at 99x, elaborated on the platform’s potential – “Product Central is more than just an automation tool – it’s a transformative solution that reimagines how development and platform teams can operate at their peak. Typically, developers would need to build components like queuing, logging, or messaging systems from scratch, but with Product Central, these are pre-tested ready-to-deploy solutions. We’re not only streamlining processes but also enabling teams to reach new levels of creativity and efficiency. This tool is a game-changer for developer productivity, allowing them to focus on innovation rather than operational hurdles.”
A key feature of Product Central is its comprehensive service discovery system, which provides developers full visibility into all services deployed across their organisation, promotes efficient resource monitoring and ensures consistency across projects. The platform also offers customisable templates and support capabilities, enabling teams to automate the creation of new services in line with established company standards, reducing setup time while ensuring uniformity and compliance.
Security and operational efficiency are central to Product Central’s design, with the platform automating routine tasks and incorporating built-in security features to ensure compliance with industry standards without sacrificing speed or flexibility. Furthermore, its powerful analytics tools offer real-time insights into service performance, enabling teams to monitor and optimise workflows more effectively.
With its easy-to-integrate plugin architecture and embedded documentation, Product Central enhances collaboration between development and SecOps teams, ensuring best practices are followed across the board and helping businesses embrace digital transformation. As a result, 99x’s Product Central is set to redefine software development, enabling teams to deliver more innovative and powerful digital solutions faster than ever before.
