Assembling low-code applications with observability policy injections

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor on a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• determining a tenant-specific policy for creation of low-code applications by a specific tenant, the tenant-specific policy specifying at least one required observability module for the low-code applications, each of the at least one required observability module representing a corresponding observability task to be performed;
• presenting, via a drag and drop user interface, a plurality of executable low-code modules representing functional tasks for inclusion in an application workflow, each low-code module comprising pre-built code segments that can be programmatically linked into runnable low-code applications;
• receiving user selections of one or more user-selected low-code modules of the plurality of executable low-code modules for the application workflow;
• automatically enforcing, prior to finalization of the application workflow, the tenant-specific policy by inserting the at least one required observability module into the application workflow in addition to the one or more user-selected low-code modules;
• and
• generating a particular low-code application by programmatically linking the one or more user-selected low-code modules and the at least one required observability module into the application workflow to produce an executable software application for deployment.

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more network interfaces to communicate with a network;
• a processor coupled to the one or more network interfaces and configured to execute one or more processes;
• and
• a memory configured to store a process that is executable by the processor, the process, when executed, configured to:
• determine a tenant-specific policy for creation of low-code applications by a specific tenant, the tenant-specific policy specifying at least one required observability module for the low-code applications, each of the at least one required observability module representing a corresponding observability task to be performed;
• present, via a drag and drop user interface, a plurality of executable low-code modules representing functional tasks for inclusion in an application workflow, each low-code module comprising pre-built code segments that can be programmatically linked into runnable low-code applications;
• receive user selections of one or more user-selected low-code modules of the plurality of executable low-code modules for the application workflow;
• automatically enforce, prior to finalization of the application workflow, the tenant-specific policy by inserting the at least one required observability module into the application workflow in addition to the one or more user-selected low-code modules;
• and
• generate a particular low-code application by programmatically linking the one or more user-selected low-code modules and the at least one required observability module into the application workflow to produce an executable software application for deployment.
