Happy 👋

The best enterprise software does not replace how your business works. Instead, it fits around it. It should fill gaps and enable your teams to do what they do best.

That is what we build for. Connecting people, systems, and data in ways that actually map to real operations. You should not have to work for your technology; your technology should work for you.

A few examples of what that looks like in practice: https://na2.hubs.ly/H061k-c0

We are aware of an ongoing Mendix platform outage affecting US East-based cloud apps. This is related to a broader AWS outage and is not isolated to Kinetech customers. West-based and on-premises apps are not impacted at this time.

Mendix is actively investigating. You can follow live updates here: https://na2.hubs.ly/H05rxg10

If you are a Kinetech client and need additional support, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly. We will share an update as soon as services are restored.

It's Mendix Monday! 🎉

We've officially reached Part 12 of our Twelve-Factor App Methodology series: Admin Processes.

Admin tasks like backfilling data, running scheduled jobs, and adjusting environment variables should never be a headache. With Mendix, they aren't.

Here's what your team gets:
→ Automated startup tasks
→ Scheduled events that just run
→ One-off admin fixes without the risk
→ Easy environment variable control

Happy Mendix Monday! Part 11 of 12: Logs. Good logs aren't just helpful. They're essential.

With Mendix, logging is continuous, time-stamped, and environment-specific so dev and prod never bleed into each other.
Here's what that looks like in practice:

🔵Built-in runtime logging
🔵Custom log actions for microflows and nanoflows
🔵Constants for consistent log nodes
🔵External tools to search, analyze, and troubleshoot fast

Whether you're chasing a broken REST call or hunting down an elusive error, Mendix helps your team find and fix issues faster.

It is Mendix Monday again! Continuing on our 12 Factor Methodology Series, today we have Part 10: Dev/Prod Parity

Fifty developers. One application. All of them committing changes at the same time.

That's where things fall apart. Not because anyone made a mistake, but because someone was working off a version of the codebase that was already a week out of date.

Dev/Prod Parity is about one thing: making sure production is the gold standard, and everyone's working against it. Small commits. Meaningful messages. Branches that get hydrated every time something hits main. Mendix makes the mechanics easy. Merges are simple, rollbacks are fast, and you can pull out a single bad commit without touching anything around it.

It doesn't eliminate the oops. Every developer has one. But it makes sure the oops doesn't take the whole team down with it.

🎥 Watch how it works in practice:

The gap between machine data and operational intelligence is where most manufacturing margins disappear.

On May 6th, join Kinetech at the SAMA 25th Annual Manufacturing Trade Show (Booth #210) where we’ll demo how to recover 12%+ equipment utilization without new CapEx.

We are moving beyond "unknown downtime" to show you how to turn raw shop floor signals into actionable production performance.

Stop by the Freeman Expo Hall to see us demo The Human Element: Turning Machine Data into Actionable Intelligence in action.

Mendix Monday is back! Continuing our Twelve-Factor App Methodology series. 🚀Today: Factor 9 Disposability.

What happens when your app needs to start or stop at a moment's notice? With Mendix, it just works.

Disposability means processes start fast, shut down gracefully, and never assume anything carries over. Unpersisted data is throwaway. Persisted data is always ready.
Here's what that unlocks:
✅ Rapid, low-disruption deployments
✅ Seamless auto-scaling
✅ Quick configuration changes without instability

When a Mendix app shuts down, it completes in-flight processes automatically — then holds new requests until restart. Developers can also use After Startup and Before Shutdown hooks to load modules, seed data, or cleanly close processes.

The runtime handles the heavy lifting. Your team stays focused on delivering value.

🚀 Can your app handle a sudden traffic spike? Adding more horsepower is not always the solution. True resilience depends on Concurrency.

In Part 8 of our 12-Factor App series, we explore how Mendix manages seamless scaling, from development process models to horizontal scaling in production.

Why it matters:
- Elasticity: Scale resources based on real-time demand.
- Efficiency: Use smart task queues to keep the UX snappy.
- Proven Results: The State of Michigan used these principles to support thousands of users per minute during the COVID-19 crisis.

Stop letting external web servers dictate your app's life. 🛑

For this , we’re breaking down Part 7 of our 12-Factor App series: Port Binding.

In the old days, you’d need to wrangle with Apache or NGINX just to get your app to talk to the world. With Mendix, your app is a self-sufficient powerhouse. By binding directly to a port (like localhost:8080), your app becomes a standalone service that’s ready for the cloud from day one.

The Win: Total consistency from your local machine to the production cloud. No "it worked on my machine" excuses here!
