About simevo SaaS

simevo SaaS is the gatekeeper to controlled access web applications. It is based on the open source Juggler project.

How it works

When you sign in to simevo SaaS you are shown the list of web applications that you have deployed; this list is initially empty:

Clicking on the “Deploy a new app” button opens a modal window with the list of web applications that you can deploy (some apps may be reserved, these are marked with the lock icon):

If you click “Deploy” for one of these apps, simevo SaaS starts showing a spinner and does some preparation in the background as the app is started in a Kubernetes cluster (this should take less than one minute, please be patient!):

After a while, the spinner disappears and the browser changes location to something like https://saas.example.com/47edfce2-e838-46cd-8bbf-81a01e49457c (example address), where you can use your own reserved instance of the chosen app. If the app allows it, you can also freely share links to your instance with your colleagues.

Now if you get back to the simevo SaaS home page, the new app is shown in the list of deployed web applications, and can be reopened at will:

Each user can deploy several apps and even multiple instances of the same app; each user gets an independent instance of each app she deploys (”multi-instance Software-as-a-Service”).

The deployed apps will be available for a predefined amount of time, after that they will be automatically deleted. If you try to open a deployed app after that, the link will return “502 Bad Gateway”. Luckily you can start from scratch and deploy a new one!
