Zoho Opens Up Its Infrastructure and Launches Catalyst, a New Full-Stack Serverless Developer PlatformZoho (News - Alert) Corporation, a global, privately held company that offers the most comprehensive suite of business software applications in the industry, today announced the release of Catalyst, the company's visionary full-stack serverless platform for developers. Catalyst is a simple to use yet extremely powerful offering that allows developers to create and run microservices and applications. Catalyst gives developers access to the same underlying services and frameworks that power Zoho's 45+ applications used by more than 45 million users around the world. As a technology company, Zoho has built and vertically integrated all of the layers of its tech stack, from applications to app infrastructure to operating systems to network infrastructure all the way down to data centers. It has been a decades-long investment in technology, and now this reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure-and all that it promises-is being opened up to developers. "The best craftsmen make their own tools. To create the comprehensive suite of business apps that we offer today, we had to build tools first. Those tools, along with the infrastructure we built over the years, is now available to developers through Catalyst," said Raju Vegesna (News - Alert), Zoho's Chief Evangelist. "With a strong belief in developer productivity, we've been offering several serverless capabilities to developers before it was even called serverless. Our commitment to end-to-end solutions has enabled us to offer a comprehensive suite of no-code, low-code, and pro-code tools." "For us, Catalyst is a business application platform that allows specific vertical applications to be quickly developed, tested, deployed, and supported, without having to worry about global standards, infrastructure, and support," said Reg Horman, Director of IT and Systems for The Pexion Group, which provides advanced manufacturing capability from around the United Kingdom. "Zoho Catalyst sits at the core of our serverless strategy and gives us the flexibility to digitize several of our manufacturing processes." Catalyst has already empowered developers to build services and applications, including a bug-filing bridge application, an app used to import users into a CRM, a microservice for lead distribution, a data-cleansing miroservice, and more. Here are some of the key features of Catalyst: Back-End as a Service
