On June 20, we had the pleasure of joining the Thessaloniki .NET Meetup for a live demo session introducing Cognibase, our real-time, memory-first platform for building modern applications with less code.

Along with many .NET professionals, architects, and frontend developers, we walked through:

• The core architecture of Cognibase
• How to declaratively model and sync real-time data
• Building a live chat app in minutes—featuring AI-powered enhancements
• Seamless .NET integration and backend/frontend collaboration

We really appreciated the positive energy and engagement from everyone there. We had insightful conversations, thoughtful questions, and feedback that fuels our roadmap moving forward.

We're especially grateful to Stratos Kourtzanidis and the entire Thessaloniki .NET community for making it all happen. Also many thanks to Betadvanced for sponsoring the meetup. It was great to connect with the local developer community and share what we’ve been working on. We’re glad to be building Cognibase here in Greece and contributing to the ecosystem in our own way.

Stay tuned: more demos, features, and deep-dives are coming soon.

Whether you're a backend engineer, frontend developer, or software architect, this session will walk you through: -Modeling real-time data declaratively -Building apps faster with Cognibase’s less-code approach -Integrating smoothly with .NET and modern frontend stacks -Using AI-powered assistants to accelerate development

We are happy to announce the release of Cognibase 0.8.8, the flexible Distributed Object Management System for .NET. This release is mainly a maintenance one fixing various issues, but few additions are also included.

What's included in version 0.8.8:

• Modernized Configuration Management. This is the first version providing support for Json appSettings.json and Environment Variables.
• Reverted SQlite adapter to use Microsoft.Data.Sqlite for modern .NET and keep using System.Data.Sqlite for legacy framework version (i.e. 4.x).
• Added support for MAUI applications running on Windows (WinUI 3).
• Fix a bug for WPF SynchronizationContext so that background threads dispatch the event handlers correctly into the UI thread for bound objects.
• Re-engineered the client connection session info to fix a long-lasting bug that prevented connections in cases when there were clients with the same local IP.
• Enhancements in handling multiple domains in the same database/schema at all adapters.
• Other minor fixes.

Head over to Github and experiment with the samples, explore the documentation at cognibase.com, and jump start using the Visual Studio extension. If you encounter any issue, please submit a ticket in the Issue Tracker.

Happy New Year! We are excited to announce the release of Cognibase 0.8.6, the flexible Distributed Object Management System for .NET. This release marks the completion of a significant and challenging journey of refactoring and renaming, most notably transitioning from ODOS to Cognibase. Additionally, we've worked in new features and resolved various issues, including some long-standing bugs. Cognibase is now stable enough for use in traditional desktop applications and multi-process backends. It also includes experimental support for Android apps.

What's included in the new release:

• Re-engineered primary key representation and management to prevent collisions.
• Standardized underlying data store representations across all adapters.
• Enabled the Object Server to function behind a WebSocket proxy.
• Added the ability to debug Docker containers directly.
• .NET 9 support
• Addressed multiple issues, particularly within database adapters.

This release focuses on stability following the extensive changes introduced in previous versions. Now, we are exploring ways to incorporate AI capabilities into Cognibase.

We believe that Cognibase can become a powerful tool for Agentic AI. Its synchronized and consistent state management has the potential to simplify the process of building autonomous intelligent agents.

Another area we are excited to explore is Code Generation. With Cognibase, developers already write approximately 60% less code for their applications. With the introduction of a Cognibase Copilot, we estimate this reduction could reach 80%-90% for MVPs, significantly improving productivity.

In summary, the key areas of improvement and innovation we will be focusing on include:

• Agentic AI: Empowering autonomous, intelligent system behaviors.
• AI Code Generation: Enhancing developer productivity with AI-driven tools.
• Better Cloud Integration: Streamlining deployment in cloud environments.
• Enhanced ASP.NET Core Application Support: Improved Blazor Server compatibility.
• Modernized Configuration Management: Expand settings support for Json appSettings.json and Environment Variables.
• UI Framework Support: Expanding support for additional UI frameworks like WinUI & UnoPlatform.

Head over to Github to and grab the samples, explore the documentation at cognibase.com, and check out the Visual Studio plugin on the VS Marketplace. If you encounter any issue, please submit a ticket in the Issue Tracker. Happy Cognibasing Year! 🎉

Missionware is committed to building the most advanced .NET development platform, Cognibase, and we want it to be truly usable by every developer. Small teams and solo developers should be able to innovate and turn their ideas into reality more easily.

Today, we are pleased to announce that we have finalized our Pricing Model, and guess what? Cognibase standard components are FREE to use! We offer commercial support, but opting for it is entirely up to you.

From the beginning, we have been dedicated to making Cognibase as convenient as possible, akin to open-source libraries. Now, we are making this promise a reality by deciding that the standard Cognibase components, which are usually sufficient, will be free for any use. This means you can start using Cognibase right away without any cost. Then, if you need help or advice on working with it, you can opt for commercial support from us.

We have another surprise for Cognibase users! Until the end of the year, we are providing consultancy hours for FREE, depending on the support plan you choose. For startups, we offer 2 hours of consultancy per month even with the Free plan. This is a limited-time offer, so the sooner you start using Cognibase, the more you will benefit and the faster you can build your projects.

We also want to announce that a Component Marketplace is under development. This marketplace will be the storefront for both internal and third-party components based on Cognibase. We are looking forward to building our community around it. Stay tuned for updates, but in the meantime, you can start building your components. For now, we are offering 3 commercial components built by us: the MS SQL DB adapter, the Oracle DB adapter, and the Proxy Server.

So, just grab the packages from NuGet, or use our samples and Visual Studio templates, to get started quickly. Building your MVP is just a few hours away!
