Get started with Persistent Mobile Foundation on an OpenShift cluster

Introduction

Persistent Mobile Foundation (PMF) v9.1 is now available to install and run on Red Hat Openshift 4.15 or later. Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise Kubernetes platform designed to address the complex realities of container orchestration in production systems.

As enterprises continue to digitally transform their businesses, PaaS application development environments, including container and microservices architectures, enable enterprises to focus more on creating and improving value-add application features and less on managing underlying operating systems and infrastructure. Red Hat OpenShift is designed to make this easier for Kubernetes environments through automated installation, patching, and upgrades for every layer of the container stack from the operating system through application services.

PMF offers an industry-leading secured platform for developers to rapidly build and deploy the next generation of multi channel digital apps, including mobile, wearables, conversation, web, and PWAs. Accelerate the development and deployment of powerful, engaging digital apps with: -

• Containerized mobile back-end services for OpenShift Container Platform covering comprehensive security, application life cycle management, offline data sync and back-end integration.
• Low-code studio to build digital apps and rich SDKs for widely used mobile frameworks both native and hybrid developers.
• A private App Store to publish your apps for consumption by users.
• User engagement by means of analytics service for application insights, feedback using In-App feedback, Push notifications, Feature Toggle and A/B testing.
