Jutro apps

With Jutro Digital Platform, you can create React-based Web applications and deliver personalized P&C customer experiences to the market. These types of applications are also known as Jutro apps.

The usage of all available Jutro features is what makes a Web application a Jutro app. This includes the integration with Guidewire Cloud InsuranceSuite APIs via the purpose-built SDKs and the deployment on Guidewire Cloud infrastructure. In addition to this, due to its flexibility Jutro enables other use cases by design. These are scenarios where the UI components of the application can be built with third-party component libraries or even have the Web application deployed on your own infrastructure.

Remember!

There are numerous benefits in leveraging all the available Jutro features, such as business components pre-integrated with Advanced Product Designer (APD), a managed development workflow, integrated end-to-end analytics, automatic upgradeability, and more secure integration with InsuranceSuite backend systems.

Types of Jutro apps

While the development workflow of Jutro apps is standard and uniform, there are basically two types of Jutro apps from a deployment perspective.

1. Standalone Apps

These are regular Jutro apps that can be hosted on Guidewire Cloud infrastructure or any other 3rd party hosting platform and whose user interface covers an entire business use case. Standalone Jutro apps are designed to be directly accessed by the end users using a Web browser through one (or many) URLs.

2. Microfrontends

These are regular Jutro apps hosted on Guidewire Cloud infrastructure and whose user interface has been designed to cover a specific subset of the entire business use case. Therefore, Jutro apps created as microfrontends always need to be embedded into another container, standalone Jutro app, or a regular Web application.

Architecture of a Jutro app

Jutro apps are React-based Single Page Applications (SPAs) whose rendering logic is processed at the client side (i.e., the Web browser). To that extent, they can be categorized as JAMStack applications that combine both static pages served from Guidewire Cloud's Content Delivery Network (CDN) and business data coming from InsuranceSuite API calls.

This way, you can create new Jutro apps just by following the standard precepts of any React-based application. This means that you can apply the same Web development principles and best practices in the field of accessibility, internationalization, and authorization to any Jutro app. Alternatively, you can also bring your third-party JavaScript libraries of choice that, combined with the UI components from the Jutro Design System, will help you build and ship the best personalized customer experience for the P&C insurance industry.
