OutSystems Transformation
Agent-Driven

OutSystems apps, purpose-built from scratch.

OutSystems charges $5K–$15K per app per month and locks every app into the same .NET/Java Platform Server runtime. AI agents analyse your Service Studio logic, rebuild each app with the architecture that fits its purpose, and migrate your data to better-fit stores.

The Challenge

Why enterprise teams are transforming OutSystems apps

OutSystems delivers rapid application development with its visual IDE and one-click deployment. But per-app licensing at $5K–$15K/month means costs escalate as your portfolio grows. Every app runs on the same Platform Server runtime — whether it's a complex insurance workflow or a simple internal tool.

Per-app licensing compounds fast
10 apps at $7.5K–$15K/mo average = $0.9M–$1.8M/year. Every new app adds to the bill linearly.
Same Platform Server for everything
Every app gets the same .NET or Java runtime regardless of what it does.
Service Studio lock-in
Your developers learn OutSystems' visual IDE instead of React, Node, or Go. Institutional knowledge trapped in a proprietary tool.
Platform Server update dependency
Security patches and runtime updates happen on OutSystems' schedule. Your app's pace is their pace.
Before & After

See what the Rebuild Agent produces

OutSystems Service Actions and Screen Aggregates become standard API endpoints and database queries your team can read, test, and extend without Service Studio.

Before — OutSystems Service Action
Proprietary
// OutSystems Service Action: SA_CreateOrder
// (Visual flow in Service Studio — no source code)

[Input] → CustomerId, Items[], ShippingAddress
    ↓
[Aggregate] → GetCustomerById(CustomerId)
    ↓
[Decision] → Customer.CreditLimit >= OrderTotal?
    ├─ Yes → [Server Action] CreateOrderRecord
    │         ├─ [Create] Order entity
    │         ├─ [ForEach] Items → Create OrderLine entities
    │         ├─ [Call REST] → InventoryService.Reserve
    │         └─ [Assign] Output.OrderId = Order.Id
    └─ No  → [Raise Exception] "Insufficient credit"

// Locked in Service Studio
// Runs on OutSystems Platform Server (.NET)
// No Git, no unit tests, no CI/CD
After — Open-Source (Generated)
Your code
// src/orders/services/createOrder.ts
// Generated by RebuildAgent — microservice

export async function createOrder(
  cmd: CreateOrderCommand,
  deps: { db: Database; inventory: InventoryClient }
) {
  const customer = await deps.db.customers
    .findById(cmd.customerId);

  if (customer.creditLimit < cmd.totalAmount) {
    throw new InsufficientCreditError(cmd.customerId);
  }

  const order = await deps.db.transaction(async (tx) => {
    const order = await tx.orders.create({
      customerId: cmd.customerId,
      shippingAddress: cmd.shippingAddress,
      status: "pending",
    });

    await tx.orderLines.createMany(
      cmd.items.map(item => ({
        orderId: order.id, ...item
      }))
    );

    await deps.inventory.reserve(order.id, cmd.items);
    return order;
  });

  return { orderId: order.id };

Migration Complexity

Not all apps are equal. We know that.

The Assessment Agent classifies each OutSystems app by complexity. Simple apps are highly automated. Complex apps get architect-guided migration.

Simple
90%+ automated
Examples
Reactive web apps with basic CRUD, entity lists, simple forms, lookup screens
How the agent works
RebuildAgent handles end-to-end. Human review at deploy gate.
Typical output
React + Node + Postgres monolith
Medium
70% automated + review
Examples
Apps with REST integrations, timer/BPT processes, multi-entity aggregates, Integration Studio extensions
How the agent works
RebuildAgent generates code. Architect reviews integration points and process flows.
Typical output
Microservices or modular monolith, purpose-fit DB
Complex
50% automated + architect-guided
Examples
Heavy BPT workflows, custom .NET extensions, multi-tenant architectures, deep Platform Server API usage, complex screen lifecycle
How the agent works
RebuildAgent scaffolds structure. Dedicated migration engineer reviews custom logic. Human approval at every phase gate.
Typical output
Event-sourced or domain-driven design, Temporal for BPM workflows
What the agent can't do — and what we do instead

Custom .NET extensions built with Integration Studio, deeply coupled Platform Server APIs, and complex BPT processes with external system callbacks require manual review by a migration engineer. The Assessment Agent flags these upfront — no surprises mid-migration.

How It Works

Same 5-phase agent process

OutSystems transformations follow the same agent-driven process used across all platform exits.

Assess
Read-only analysis of your OutSystems apps
Rebuild
Purpose-fit architecture per workload
Deploy
Governed from day one, greenfield-ready
Migrate data
To purpose-fit stores, with rollback
Operate
Automated patching, certs, anomaly detection
All agents run in your environment on your choice of LLM. See the full 5-phase process →
