## [The opposite of legacy](https://www.datb.com/blog/the-opposite-of-legacy)

Whilst recently applying a routine platform update to our clients' systems we were struck by the range of business areas that these applications support, and also that their ages varied from less than one year to eighteen years old.  Nonetheless, the update brought them all completely up to date in terms of their support for browser and UI standards, database support and security practices.

## [What can you build with the kinodb platform?](https://www.datb.com/blog/what-can-you-build-with-kinodb)

The kinodb development and deployment platform can be used to build just about any type of application that you may need.

We have [customers](https://www.datb.com/our-clients) from utility companies, rail infrastructure, local authorities, event organisers, and educational content providers, amongst many others. Their applications deliver on very different business requirements.

## [Avoiding a proliferation of applications](https://www.datb.com/blog/avoiding-a-proliferation-of-applications)

 By [Mark Bushman](https://www.datb.com/blog/author/mark-bushman) on Feb 5, 2021 10:26:00 AM

[![](https://www.datb.com/hubfs/726d0b43ad9162de590e945cbef90216.png) ](https://www.datb.com/blog/avoiding-a-proliferation-of-applications)

I read an article recently about how an organisation had recently rolled out six new apps in its fight against COVID-19.

At first glance, this appears impressive in showing how quickly they had created new services for their clients in a short period of time, but it raised a question: does this approach just encourage the proliferation of disparate systems that need to be maintained and supported?

## [kinodb makes big, difficult things easy (and simple things trivial)](https://www.datb.com/blog/difficult-things-easy)

 By [Mark Bushman](https://www.datb.com/blog/author/mark-bushman) on Sep 4, 2020 12:29:54 PM

kinodb, our development and deployment platform, is used very productively by some business users, but it isn't specifically targeted at 'citizen developers’.
