Senior Software Developer at Plutomen Technology
Strong typing has reduced runtime failures and supports predictable backend operations
The biggest area for improvement in Ada is ecosystem depth. While Ada itself is very solid, the library ecosystem is still thinner compared to Go and Rust, especially for newer cloud-native tooling and integrations, meaning we occasionally have to build wrappers or bindings ourselves, which adds some friction. Documentation and onboarding could be smoother, especially for developers new to Ada coming from modern ecosystems. The core docs are good, but practical examples around debugging, package patterns, and a modern deployment workflow could be more polished. We created some internal starter templates to shorten the ramp-up time, which helped, but better out-of-the-box guidance would make adoption easier.

Optimizing digital presence with customizable design and seamless integration
The main benefits that Liferay Digital Experience Platform brings to the table are numerous. First is rapid application development and many features. Features such as content management and document management make your life easy; workflow management is also present. Workflow can be designed and derived. Form development and everything is very smooth and easy to deliver to the end customer, and you can find many features in one box. You have blogs, wikis, and everything with out-of-box functionality. My experience with actionable insights is positive; they help in refining content strategies. The content creation is helpful. For external content creation, I use headless CMS APIs for Liferay Digital Experience Platform, and headless APIs for content creation are also available. My thoughts on the integration capabilities are that integration is seamless. You have headless APIs where you can integrate seamlessly with any other application such as LDAP or SSO, or you can also integrate with different external systems. You have an SAP connector; everything is available. Liferay Digital Experience Platform's open source flexibility has helped in customizing functionalities for the specific needs of my customers as it is a highly flexible application that can be optimized. My advice for other organizations considering Liferay Digital Experience Platform is that if it's available, we need to improve on the performance, which is currently what we are seeing. Otherwise, earlier Service Builder was acceptable. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Liferay Digital Experience Platform a 9.

"Ada offers agentic workflow as its best feature, providing the agent capability to personalize customer support and making customer success operations easier."
