Top Corteza System Features

API Connectivity


Build unlimited apps quickly,

Reach any part of Corteza via an API and transform and control the data as you like via our Integration Gateway. Corteza’s REST API lets you push data in or pull data out of any Corteza application, so you can grab whatever optimized data you want and put it where you need it.

Open Standards


Build unlimited apps quickly,

Collaborate across and between any organization. Corteza follows best practices for:

▶︎ OpenID Connect, OAuth 2, SAML, SCIM Authentication and ID Management
▶︎ REST API and Integration Gateway
▶︎ BPMN 2.0 Workflows
▶︎ ActivityStreams/ActivityPub Sharing and Federation
▶︎ JSON and CSV data formats
▶︎ WCAG 2.1 Accessibility
▶︎ Internationalization

Data Harmonization


Build unlimited apps quickly,

Share records between any Corteza-based systems in a standardized, usable way. Corteza connects with data from different sources in different formats and transforms it into a common open format and integrates seamlessly with legacy environments so developers can tailor legacy data before deploying it in data models and applications.

Design Studio


Build unlimited apps quickly,

Style your Corteza user interface and all of your applications any way you like. Tweak your color scheme or swap out the entire stylesheet to fit your brand guidelines and make Corteza fully your own. Combined with CSS,  you have complete control over how your Corteza and apps look, including adding images to the background, creating transparencies, changing fonts, changing the border radius on cards and buttons and more.

Importing/Exporting


Build unlimited apps quickly,

Export and import complete app configurations, workflows and record data without limits in the following formats:

▶︎ App Configurations – YAML
▶︎ Workflows – YAML
▶︎ Record Data – JSON or CSV

Corteza uses its Envoy subsystem to import data and map imported legacy data to new application data models.

Database Independent


Build unlimited apps quickly,

Don’t be stuck with one database. Corteza supports MySQL and PostgreSQL databases with others to be added, along with support for multiple, simultaneous database sources.

Data Access Layer


Build unlimited apps quickly,

Isolate code from the presentation and business layers, or pull data from different data stores (database server, flat files, web services, whatever else) or when changing the underlying database such as when moving from one relational database such as PostgreSQL to MySQL and then abstracting the underlying database.

Cloud-Ready Architecture


Build unlimited apps quickly,

Scale horizontally or vertically. Corteza is cloud-ready and deployable via Docker so that Corteza can run on any major OS and is easy to maintain.

Add CSS to Any Part of Corteza
