The FCN (Fusion CoNsole) is a framework created with the purpose of providing developers with the rapid development of internal management applications that bundles solutions for common requisites in medium to large companies, reducing the setup boilerplate for the teams. The developed applications are available under a single hostname to provide its users with a single point of access. However, the current version of the FCN has several problems and bottlenecks that resulted from the lack of opportunity to solve them and due to the technology stack used becoming outdated. Such problems sometimes lead to time expensive processes and dependencies that, otherwise, could be avoided. From these needs, IAP – Internal Applications Platform – is born. IAP goals are to be a new version of the FCN where the raised problems are solved. The purpose of this thesis is to raise, understand, and solve the current problems of the framework. Such was achieved through a deep analysis of the current architecture, technologies that could be used to solve them or enhance the current version and to study and design solutions that allow to overcome them. It is hoped that the presented solutions not only solve the raised problems but improve the overall usability for developers and applications’ users. In the end, the presented solution not only solves the raised problems as it improves IAP’s usability for software developers and users of the applications built on top of it.
