With three years of hands-on OutSystems development, what stands out most to me is the speed-to-value ratio. I can build and ship enterprise features in days—work that would take weeks in traditional stacks—without losing control, because dropping into custom code or JavaScript when needed is seamless. A few things have consistently impressed me. One-click deploy and rollback across environments makes release management painless. Reusable modules let you build once and plug in everywhere, which helps keep large codebases maintainable. The Forge marketplace is a huge time-saver; I rarely need to build integrations from scratch. The built-in performance guardrails are also valuable: the platform flags bad practices like N+1 queries and missing indexes before they turn into production issues. Finally, strong versioning and environment management keep dev/QA/prod promotion smooth, even on large teams. After three years, it’s become my go-to for enterprise apps where both speed and governance matter.

Very excited about the ODC features. AI agents and the way Outsystems has made it easy to make use of Model Context Protocol.
