Frontstage SDKs support developers in creating client-side, domain-specific applications. These SDKs exploit the individual strengths of environments (iOS, Android, Desktop, Web) and provide standard functions out-of-the-box to make implementation more efficient. Offline capability, pre-caching, content prioritization as framework configuration are standard, as is client-side indexing to enable full-text search, auto-complete and complex data filtering. Developers work with the accustomed technology stack an use the functionality of the respective SDK.

With its smart synchronization strategies, Frontstage acts as a data buffer, decoupling the application from core system availability.

Frontstage services initialize data synchronization based on a socket connection. The Frontstage gate acts as an API, providing the communication layer between the Frontstage services and the clients. These services run on a microservice architecture, are therefore scalable and are operated and rolled out on premise using Kubernetes or similar services. The connection to core systems happens push-and-pull style by Content Connector. All web services are available as REST or OData service and support by default the JSON and gRPC formats. Static application resources like photos, fonts, style information etc. are delivered tot he client by dedicated web servers.
