Charbax | Olympe.io Revolutionizing Software Development with Code Composition | CEO Laurent Chatelanat @charbax | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Laurent Chatelanat, the founder and CEO of Olympe.io, introduces his innovative approach to software development through a method he calls "code composition." This technique allows developers to create reusable blocks of code, facilitating the integration of various functions in a more efficient manner. Unlike traditional coding practices that involve lengthy code sets, code composition allows developers to use a WYSIWYG-like interface tailored for developers. This enables them to define inputs and outputs for their functions, processing data through interconnected blocks, thus creating a more streamlined data flow.
Olympe.io's architecture stands out in the global market, as it is one of only a handful of companies offering such a solution, and Chatelanat claims that they are among the most advanced in this field. The technology has gained traction with large enterprises, showcasing its effectiveness in complex, global deployments. This system utilizes tiny containers that facilitate interoperability between different code components, ensuring that they work well together while maintaining efficiency.
In terms of performance, Chatelanat assures that the code runs at native speed within its operational environment. While there may be slight slowdowns due to the bridging processes, the overall architecture supports advanced coding languages and allows for high performance. This flexibility includes support for lower-level programming languages, enabling developers to achieve better performance for demanding tasks.
The collaborative aspect of Olympe.io approach is particularly noteworthy. Chatelanat emphasizes that it allows for easy collaboration among developers, enabling them to package complex processes into reusable components. This not only streamlines the development process but also ensures that any updates made to a component automatically propagate to all applications using it. This leads to a more efficient lifecycle management of applications, reducing redundancy and enhancing maintainability.
The R&D phase of the project began in 2012, and the company has had production deployments for over five years. Olympe.io is proudly Swiss-made, which Chatelanat likens to the precision of a Swiss watch. The company is based in the renowned École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), which is considered one of the best institutions globally for software development. The supportive environment at EPFL has played a crucial role in the evolution of Olympe.io's offerings.
Olympe.io's platform is compatible with various programming languages, primarily web-related languages like JavaScript and TypeScript, and it also supports bridging for other languages such as Python and Flutter. While the platform is designed to be easy to start using, mastering its full capabilities requires some time and expertise. Chatelanat compares this learning curve to the game of chess, where initial understanding is straightforward, but mastery takes considerable practice.
To make the platform accessible, Olympe.io offers a limited version that is free for users to try, alongside an enterprise version for larger organizations. Chatelanat's team consists of two key members supporting business development and pre-sales engineering, with a core development team of 15 people based in Lausanne. The architecture of Olympe.io, however, is not used to develop its own system; instead, the team relies on Java for backend security and uses Node.js for front-end applications.
As for the future, Chatelanat expresses confidence in the potential applications of Olympe.io's platform. It has already been used for significant projects involving thousands of users and complex systems. However, he notes that they do not actively participate in discussions with standards organizations shaping the future of web development. Instead, they focus on adopting the C4 model, which aligns with their company roots and early server naming conventions, reflecting a unique blend of tradition and modern technological innovation.
