Apache OFBiz is an open-source ERP system written in Java and built on a suite of other open-source frameworks including Apache Flex and Apache Solr. The advantage of OFBiz is that it comes with a set of pre-built components for standard ERP functionality. This means much of the complex ERP infrastructure is already in place and ready to use out of the box. Many Organizations use these pre-built images to get an ERP system up and running quickly without developing everything from scratch. The advantages of running OFBiz on ECS are automatic scaling, high availability, managed infrastructure, improved deployment, and service isolation.
