A practical, open-source knowledge base for building, deploying, and securing Mendix applications.
Built by engineers who ship Mendix to production — not just tutorials, but the stuff you actually need when things get real.
Every guide is written with production use in mind. You'll find concrete examples, configuration snippets, decision matrices, and troubleshooting steps — not just theory.
| Guide | What You'll Learn |
|---|---|
| Microflows | Server-side logic, error handling, performance patterns, batch processing, debugging |
| Nanoflows | Client-side execution, offline-first design, JavaScript actions, when to use nanoflows vs microflows |
| Entities | Domain modeling, associations, access rules, indexes, data migration strategies |
| Pages & UI | Layouts, widgets, Atlas UI styling, accessibility, responsive patterns |
| Integrations | REST, OData, SOAP, Kafka, retry patterns, circuit breakers, OAuth 2.0 |
| Guide | What You'll Learn |
|---|---|
| Modules | Module structure, inter-module dependencies, security boundaries, refactoring |
| Marketplace | Evaluating third-party modules, customization patterns, building your own |
| Infrastructure | Runtime architecture, JVM tuning, caching, clustering, reverse proxy configs |
| Deployment | Docker, Kubernetes, Mendix Cloud, blue/green releases, secrets management |
| CI/CD | Build automation, testing pipelines, quality gates, GitHub Actions & GitLab CI examples |
| Guide | What You'll Learn |
|---|---|
| Security | Authentication, RBAC, API security, encryption, XSS prevention, hardening checklist |
| SSO | SAML payload validation, load balancer troubleshooting, IdP configuration |
| Compliance | GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, ITAR, EAR, SOC, ISO, and Colorado Privacy Act — with Mendix-specific guidance |
New to Mendix? Start with Entities to understand the domain model, then move to Microflows for server-side logic.
Setting up a new project? Read Modules for project structure, then Security before you ship anything.
Going to production? Work through Deployment, Infrastructure, and CI/CD in that order.
Dealing with compliance requirements? The Compliance section has regulation-specific guides with Mendix implementation details for each.
Contributions are welcome. If you've solved a tricky Mendix problem and want to share the knowledge, open a PR.
A few guidelines:
- Be practical. Real configurations and code over abstract advice.
- Be specific. Include version numbers, known limitations, and gotchas.
- Be direct. Write like you're explaining something to a teammate, not writing a textbook.
