# Introduction

Nimbus the Aegion Dynamic's cloud platform that provides the framework, resources and reusable components that make it easy to develop SaaS applications. This document acts as the living document that can be used as a guide to the developer building applications on this platform while doubling as a blueprint for the design document.

## Why a cloud framework ?

90% of modern day SaaS applications solve the same problems. By creating a standard framework, we simplify the development lifecycle for projects and simplify the maintenance and security updates.

Our goal is to get to an MVP in < 1 week. We believe frameworks like nimbus will help us achieve that.
