The demand for software customization (modification for specific user needs) is as old as the first invented software. It is virtually impossible to write an application that suits the specific needs of all users. Thus, adding the option to customize an application without developer assistance is an idea whose time has come. And it shines in business applications because business processes can significantly differ even in enterprises that belong within the same field of business.

In this article we introduce the inner structure of the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform and the technologies used in its development.
1С:Enterprise 8 is a major application with over 10 mln lines of code written in C++ (client, server, etc.), JavaScript (web client), and recently added Java. Major projects are interesting due to a lot of reasons, their scale among others, because the issues that go unnoticed in a small code base are highly visible in large-scale initiatives. And, of course, it is always interesting to know how other teams and companies work.

Deploying 100-users 1C:DocFlow solution in Vietnam International Bank (VIB) we had to choose servers hardware characteristics for the system. We used the official 1C recommendations that can be find in this tech article. The main idea behind the article is that we can extrapolate the hardware component utilization of some live system (called Model) to our system, assuming that the model system users utilize the hardware components to the same extent as our users will.

As domain-specific software becomes more available, businesses face a dilemma: whether to acquire commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) enterprise management systems or to build them in-house. Companies choosing to create a product internally are often rewarded with flexibility and control over their development process and its results. However, when expanding, they can outgrow their ability to support the developed software.
Part 1.
