SuperApp Business Application Platform

Build SuperApps and corresponding ecosystems on a full-stack platform

SuperApp Overview

A SuperApp is like a Swiss army knife — with a range of Miniapps that the user can use and remove as needed (Gartner definition). SuperApp combines the features of an App, a platform and an ecosystem in one application, providing a platform for first & third parties to develop and publish their Miniapps on. SuperApp users can select and activate Miniapps that they want to use, and enjoy consistent user experience across a variety of personalized Miniapps.

Alibaba Cloud SuperApp Business Application Platform is a full-stack tool platform for building SuperApps and related ecosystems. Based on the best practices of Taobao and Tmall, it provides complete platform capabilities including Miniapp container, IDE plugin, and application open platform. Help you build a rich application ecosystem.
