Use Cases

Developer

Definition:

A software forge is either a group of several developers or a single developer who produces applications or parts of applications. These can be anything from individual plugins and connectors to multi-layered, large applications that offer value for their users.

In the context of Qilin.Cloud, by developers we mean both developers who produce plugins, connectors and (white-labeled) applications on behalf of a customer (both for external customers and also internally), as well as those who develop plugins, connectors and (white-labeled) applications to distribute them. It also includes developers who provide components to help other developers and license them accordingly.

Overview

Like the .NET Framework, but for e-commerce

Qilin.Cloud represents a similar revolution in the world of e-commerce as the .NET framework did in the development of software applications. While .NET serves as a robust, versatile framework that provides developers with a unified programming environment, Qilin.Cloud goes one step further in the realm of e-commerce. It offers a similarly seamless and integrated experience, but specifically tailored to the requirements of digital commerce.

A key element of this is the ability to develop and share custom components, similar to how NuGet works in the .NET ecosystem. NuGet allows developers to share code in the form of packages that can be easily integrated into projects. Qilin.Cloud extends this concept by allowing developers to create custom e-commerce components and share them within the Qilin.Cloud community (both paid and free).

This approach not only promotes code reuse and reduces development time, but also creates a dynamic, collaborative environment where developers can benefit from the innovations of others to create robust, customized e-commerce solutions.

Facilitated application development

Qilin.Cloud is revolutionizing application development in the e-commerce domain by providing developers with an extensive arsenal of pre-built and modular components. These tools allow you to build complex applications faster and more efficiently by reducing the need to develop each element from scratch. This allows you to focus on creating unique features and fine-tuning the user experience.

Expansion of development capacities

With Qilin.Cloud, developers can expand their capabilities and portfolio by gaining access to a wide range of e-commerce technologies and integrations. This platform provides the opportunity to familiarize yourself with new technologies and develop industry-specific solutions, allowing you to strengthen your expertise in a competitive market.

Improved collaboration and code reuse

Qilin.Cloud promotes a culture of collaboration and code reuse among developers. By sharing components and solutions within the Qilin.Cloud community, developers can benefit from the innovations of others while making their own developments available to a wide audience. This leads to more efficient development practices and continuous improvement of available tools.
