MaxIron DevForge

Every Maximo team is held back by the same thing: there is one test environment, and it is queued for weeks. MaxIron DevForge gives every developer, every reviewer and every change its own clean Maximo environment, on demand, then takes it away when the work is done. Throughput goes up, conflicts go away, and the next release ships on schedule.

Developer spinning up a clean Maximo environment for a feature branch with one click

What it does for you

  • One clean Maximo environment per feature, per developer, per pull request
  • Environments live as long as the work and disappear when it is merged
  • End of the queue for the only test environment
  • Pull requests reviewed against the change actually running, not screenshots
  • Throughput up, late-stage conflicts down, releases on schedule
  • Works for both classic Maximo and MAS

Where it fits in your Maximo programme

DevForge is the environment side of the engineering layer; Pipelines is the release side. Together they make a Maximo programme behave like a serious modern engineering team. It also accelerates Maximo to MAS upgrade work, where the ability to spin throwaway upgrade rehearsals matters enormously.

MaxIron DevForge — frequently asked questions

What problem does DevForge solve?
The single shared test environment problem. In most Maximo estates, there is one development or test environment that is queued for weeks, used for everything, and inevitably broken when you need it. DevForge replaces that with on-demand environments per feature, per developer, per pull request.
How quickly can a new environment be ready?
Minutes for a clean baseline; longer when realistic data needs to be loaded. Either way, it is "spin up, ship, tear down" rather than "wait two weeks for the queue".
Is this not too expensive?
Net cost goes down, not up. The hidden cost of waiting and of late-stage conflicts in a shared environment is far higher than running short-lived dedicated ones.
Does it work for both classic Maximo and MAS?
Yes. Both are supported, and the experience is the same regardless of vintage.
How does this fit with our PR review process?
Cleanly. Every PR can spin its own DevForge environment so reviewers see the change running end-to-end before approving. Once merged, the environment goes away.

End the queue for the only test environment.
