Technology

Adopting a framework for developing a solution means adopting a tool that speeds up the delivery of your product to the market. In addition, choosing an open source software platform also means defining the strategy of an agnostic solution of some large player that may discontinue its support while your solution is still in the active development cycle. be able to manage data, users and content completely online, scalable, flexible and expandable.

Used to manage data, users and content in a fully online, scalable, flexible and expandable frameworks serve as a foundation for systems with high data traffic and can even be adapted to virtually any design project. Frameworks are behind large systems such as WhiteHouse.gov, the Economic Social Forum, Stanford University and the Examiner.com portal among other important applications.
 


Characteristics



Open Source: Released as open-source software under the GNU Public License. That means it’s completely free to download, use, and modify: There are no purchase, license, or maintenance fees.

Secure: Used by thousands of high profile web sites and is subject to rigorous security testing both by the community and by security experts around the world. Core code has been proven to prevent common security vulnerabilities such as those defined by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).

Everywhere: It runs millions of web sites, including many of the world’s biggest. It’s especially strong among major governments and industry-leading enterprises, but is easy enough to be the platform of choice for individuals and small companies.
