OpenPlatform provides third party apps in iframes (with a simple tokenization workflow). When a user believes they have only one solution, in reality, they use different applications on different hostnames. Developers are not restricted, they can use anything like Java, .NET, Python, RoR, PHP, Node.js, Go, … in combination with Vue, React, Angular, Ember, jQuery, … for creating apps optimized for OpenPlatform. Instead of creating one monolith solution, you can integrate/create many apps into one portal. This solution has a lot of pros in terms of long-term benefits like updating, security, scalability, etc.
