Getting started
Start accelerating your development
Step 1 - Installation
IBM DevOps Solution Workbench runs on RedHat OpenShift or Kubernetes. Additionally, some third-party requirements are needed to run IBM DevOps Solution Workbench, such as a Git provider of your choice and a database for storage.
Read more about the installation process in general and the corresponding system and third-party requirements.
Step 2 - Create your project
IBM DevOps Solution Workbench offers several project types to start your journey, tailored to your needs.
- Software architecture design projects help you decompose and architect your software by leveraging C4 architecture modeling.
- In implementation projects you can design your service implementation and transform your design files into executable code.
- Application compositions are used to compose several applications for deployment.
You don't want to start from zero, but integrate your existing projects? Create an implementation project from your existing Git repository.
Within your projects, you can further adjust capabilities and technologies via project extensions.

Step 3 - Design your software
Each project provides a modeling environment where you can design every aspect of your software project, from brainstorming to architecture and implementation, customizable to your needs (tech preview).
Further plan, design and refine your services and create design files as the authoritative source for service architecture and component specifications of your project.
Step 4 - Create your code
IBM DevOps Solution Workbench supports two implementation approaches for transforming design files into executable code.
- Managed Stacks: Automated code generation using predefined technology templates
- Custom Stacks: AI-assisted implementation based on your preferred technology, guided by design specifications
