Development Acceleration

Getting started with MarkLogic can be daunting. The platform's rich feature set offers numerous options for data modeling, indexing, security, and application architecture. While this flexibility is powerful, it can also create decision paralysis that delays progress. Our development acceleration services eliminate this barrier, delivering working solutions quickly to either prove value or establish solid production foundations.

# Proof of Value: Show Results Fast

After investing in MarkLogic to address specific business cases, stakeholders need to see tangible results quickly. A proof-of-value demonstration shows that the platform can deliver on its promises—but building even a simple demonstration requires numerous technical decisions.

# The Challenge of "Too Much, Too Soon"

MarkLogic is simultaneously a database, search engine, document store, triple store, data hub, integration platform, and application server. This versatility means teams often try to build too much initially when a focused demonstration would better serve the immediate goal: showing stakeholders that their business case is achievable.

# Our Rapid POV Approach

Given access to representative sample data and clearly defined basic requirements, we deliver working proof-of-value applications in as little as 2 weeks. This accelerated timeline is possible because we:

• Focus on breadth over depth - Cover the key business requirements rather than production-scale implementation
• Leverage experience - Make architectural decisions quickly based on proven patterns
• Iterate rapidly - Quick cycles of development and feedback keep momentum high
• Demonstrate capability - Show what MarkLogic can do without building the full production system

The result: stakeholders see concrete evidence that their business case is viable, building organizational confidence and support for moving forward with full implementation.

# Production Foundation: Start Right

When you're ready to build a production system, the initial codebase matters enormously. Decisions made early about architecture, code organization, and development patterns create either a solid foundation or technical debt that compounds over time.

# The Options Overwhelm

MarkLogic's flexibility means every project faces countless choices:

• Data modeling approaches - structured? semi-structured? how much normalization?
• Security models - database-level? document-level? element-level?
• Index configurations - what to index? what impacts performance?
• Application patterns - REST services? search applications? how to structure code?

For teams new to MarkLogic or facing tight deadlines, making these decisions confidently while maintaining development velocity is challenging.

# Our Accelerator Approach

We turbo-charge your project launch by delivering or co-delivering the initial production-quality codebase. Working with your team, we:

Establish Solid Foundations - Set up project structure, build tooling, deployment automation, and development patterns that scale from initial development through production deployment.

Implement Core Functionality - Deliver working implementations of data ingestion, processing pipelines, security models, and basic application functionality. Every component is production-grade—not prototype code that needs rewriting.

Enable Your Team - The foundation we create enables your team to build directly on production system infrastructure. No need to start over or refactor foundational decisions. You continue building from a position of strength.

Transfer Knowledge - As we work together, your team learns our architectural patterns, coding practices, and decision-making rationale. This knowledge transfer ensures they can maintain and extend what we've built.

# Customized Coverage

How much we deliver depends on your team's current capabilities and specific needs:

• Full Stack - Complete application foundation if your team is new to MarkLogic
• Selective Components - Specific challenging areas (security, search, data modeling) while your team handles the rest
• Architecture & Guidance - Establish patterns and implement examples, letting your team replicate across the application
• Paired Development - Work side-by-side with your developers, building together and sharing knowledge continuously

# The Acceleration Advantage

Whether proving value to stakeholders or launching production development, time matters. Our development acceleration services compress the timeline from "deciding to use MarkLogic" to "having working solutions" from months to weeks.

We eliminate the uncertainty and false starts that slow early-stage projects. You get working code, proven patterns, and clear direction forward—letting your team focus on delivering business value rather than figuring out foundational decisions.
