Jmix: The Future of the CUBA Platform New year, new CUBA. Introduction CUBA started its way back in 2008. Since then it went through a few very important stages. At first, it was an internal framework with no documentation and even less API. It was a company-wide thing that allowed Haulmont to develop Business Applications faster. In 2015 CUBA was introduced world-wide under a proprietary license. We got just a few users that year — that was embarrassing. It became obvious that the licensing policy should be switched to open source. 2016 and 2017 were very productive years when we got our wider community. This was a big shift in mind, we saw what was right and what was wrong.
