Exporting the completed (or updated) application for deployment on your own server

I would still like you to consider (perhaps in the future) such a possibility. I myself am looking for such solutions (they are available, by the way, to some extent in other platforms with no code, I won’t specify them here, but not in the way offered here), and customers I know would also like to have such a feature. Please, at least don’t throw my idea into the trash box)))

For general clarification, I’ll point out the features and benefits below.

What it’s for:

  1. Data privacy (for some companies it is very important to have a working web application with code and data stored on their own server, and the ability to connect via APIs or other methods is not suitable).
  2. Ownership of the code without vendor lock-in (a perennial sore subject)
  3. “On-demand” development, anytime you need it.

What are the features:

Development is done directly on the Momen platform (only development and testing of features), then code + DB export. That is, the user “accepts” only the result (code and database + instructions for installation on the server) that Momen is able to generate. I realize that it is impossible to implement such a thing for all servers and their software, so we need some universal variant, which will fit (possibly) under a number of requirements from Momen (for example, DB = Postgresql, PHP = 8.0 and above, or React, Docker, or something else that the “receiving server” should have). The bottom line is that the user needs to understand if their server can meet the requirements to host a ready/updated application from Momen. I also understand that there may be obstacles with the Cron Scheduler, 3rd party integrations that have been customized in the Momen builder, APIs, and so on. But I think Momen specialists are very cool developers and will be able to come up with possible “workarounds”.

Advantages for Momen: (I’m not sure I’ll specify them correctly, but maybe I’ll describe the idea correctly)

  1. Additional payment for each export of ready code. A very simple example: there are image generators - you do what you want, but download it for a fee.
  2. Reduction of server load (since working versions of user applications are stored on private servers).
  3. something else ))

I’m sure it will probably give more options for the end user. With a no-code builder it is much easier and faster to make a web application than to hire a “classic” programmer (although each method has its own advantages). For example, I (on another web builder) have tasks to finish something new in functionality every day, and even per day the customer can come up with several additional features. So, in general, code export can become some additional income for Momen. But the main advantage is in flexibility for the end user and expansion of unique features. This will be a clear advantage of Momen among competitors!

Our architecture precludes us from doing this. So that is not something we will do any time soon (think decade).
We do support bring-your-own-cloud deployment though.

I’m just going to leave this sentence (the reason was explained to me in an online conversation today, but due to the complexity of the auto-translator, I didn’t fully understand everything). To come back to it in 10 years (or maybe even earlier) :wink:

I just rethought about it, conversing with chatGPT
Still too difficult to do…
