Apart from the exhaustive list of pre-built servicesMicroservices, custom services Microservices can be written, built, and deployed into the Fiorano Platform by developers. To aid developers in service creation, the platform provides a template engine to generate the skeleton code for custom services in Java, C, C++, C# (.Net). User can create a component in any language, add the business logic and deploy it in the Fiorano environment.
