eMagiz Store
In this fundamental, we will zoom in on the concepts of the eMagiz Store and how it can benefit our community whilst developing within the platform. Building on this fundamental we have several microlearnings related to the eMagiz Store that give a more in-depth explanation on the technicalities when working with the store.
Should you have any questions, please get in touch with academy@emagiz.com.
1. Prerequisites
- Some context on cloud functionality will be helpful.
2. Key concepts
- The eMagiz Store is accessible from various phases of the ILM
- The eMagiz Store is designed for reusability, speed, and transfering best-practices
- Generic content is maintained by eMagiz. Partners content is maintained by our partners.
- The eMagiz content is divised into connectors and accelerators
3. eMagiz Store
We have designed the eMagiz Store in such a way that it supports our users whilst developing in the Design and Create phase of eMagiz in creating a working integration. Store items developed by eMagiz and by our partners focus on increasing the speed of delivery, promoting reusability across models and instilling best-practices in the hearts and minds of our users.
The eMagiz Store currently plays host to a large number of connectors connecting to systems such as Exact Online, Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft Graph and more. On top of that we offer a wide range of accelerators that contain often used transformations, standardized connectivity methods (i.e. REST, SOAP, SFTP) and technically challenging solution that could come in handy (i.e. Groovy solutions).
3.1 Content Management
Within the eMagiz store we have two streams of content that can be publiced in the store. The first stream of content is maintained and managed by ourselves as eMagiz. This stream focuses on accelerators (i.e. store items that simplify something in Create such as calling a REST endpoint) and on generic connectors (i.e. connectors that are used in a wide variety of markets, such as Salesforce). The secondary stream of content is maintained and managed by each of our partners. As partner they have the option to export relevant content for their own customer base to the eMagiz store to further enhance the experience in using the platform and adding value faster.
3.2 Suggestions, Questions and Feedback
We can imagine that when using the store or simply browsing through what the store can offer you suggestions, questions and feedback might arise. In each of these cases we appreciate you contact us in a specific manner. In case you have suggestions for new feedback do not hesitate to contact us at productmanagement@emagiz.com. In case of questions please use our Q&A forum within the portal. In case of feedback you can use the feedback button in the portal to report your feedback so we can take a look at it.
The first perspective on the Cloud we take is how we run multiple customers within the same eMagiz Cloud solution that we offer. The picture below shows how we structured our Cloud to ensure that your data is kept safely within your environment.
3.3 Example usage
Within the documentation portal we have a list of connectors and accelerators that are managed and maintained by eMagiz. The list can be found here. On top of that we have some example videos in which we demonstrate how you can use the store to your advantage through the use of some use cases. Please check out the links below for each of these use cases:
3.4 Key benefits
Now that we have explained how our Cloud is configured, we will wrap up this fundamental by looking at the key benefits the Cloud holds for you when building your models with the help of the eMagiz platform. Below we have summarized these key benefits:
- Each model has its VPC
- Meta information is stored on EFS for auto-scaling purposes
- Meta information is stored on EFS to guarantee a quick recovery in case of an outage
- Monitoring capabilities provide auto-healing options
- The eMagiz Cloud can be fully controlled via the eMagiz platform (check out our microlearnings under suggested additional readings)
- A carwash is placed in front of all VPCs to add a layer of security
- You can add additional features to your specific VPC
