Agentic AI systems differ fundamentally from traditional AI integrations. Instead of a single prompt-response cycle, an agentic system plans multi-step workflows, uses tools to retrieve data or execute actions, evaluates intermediate results, and iterates toward a goal. Building these systems in enterprise OutSystems applications requires new architectural patterns and careful attention to observability and control. The Agent Executor Pattern structures the core agentic loop. Your OutSystems...

OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC) represents the platform's architectural evolution toward cloud-native, containerized deployment. For architects who have built careers on traditional OutSystems, ODC introduces new patterns that require deliberate learning and adaptation. The most fundamental shift is the move from a monolithic runtime to independent containerized applications. In traditional OutSystems, all applications in an environment share a single runtime process and database. In ODC,...

Legacy migration projects fail not because of technical complexity, but because of unclear scope, insufficient domain analysis, and underestimating the gap between what legacy systems do and what they were designed to do. An OutSystems migration requires both architectural discipline and change management rigor. Start with a Domain Capability Map. Before touching OutSystems, document every capability your legacy system provides — not screens, not tables, but business capabilities. Inventory...
