Apprenda was founded by a team of software engineers frustrated with reinventing the wheel, following their work on a series of projects that took existing on-prem software apps to a multi-tenant cloud model. They realized that the bulk of their effort was focused on complex tasks unrelated to the actual application functionality or business value, but were nonetheless critical to the ongoing cost of providing access to the software-as-a-service. Platform issues such as multi-tenancy (sharing a single instance of the codebase and a single database across multiple clients and many end users), user & role management, metering & billing capabilities and scaling properties occupied more than 60% of the development time and up to 80% of the codebase.

Apprenda's founders decided to abstract away all of the aforementioned platform issues by creating a middleware technology that would allow developers to focus on UI and business logic rather than lower level platform issues. This vector of innovation is fundamentally a continuation of the improvements made to software development achieved by the introduction of the operating system for desktop applications and the application server for web and SOA apps. Apprenda is the modern abstraction layer for apps in the cloud era.
