What is the "Service Studio" in the OutSystems platform?

The "Service Studio" in the OutSystems platform serves as the visual development environment specifically designed for building applications. This environment enables developers to create, design, and manage applications with a focus on user-friendly visual interfaces and drag-and-drop functionalities.

In Service Studio, developers can define user interfaces, manage data models, and set up server-side logic without needing extensive coding knowledge. This facilitates rapid application development, as it streamlines processes that would typically involve more complex programming in traditional development environments. The emphasis on visual development allows for better collaboration between technical and non-technical stakeholders, making it possible to build applications more efficiently and effectively.

The other options, while related to different aspects of application development and management, do not accurately describe Service Studio. For instance, a coding environment would imply a focus on manual coding instead of the visual approach that Service Studio embodies. An analytics tool relates to performance measurement, which is a separate function within the platform. Lastly, a version control system is typically concerned with managing code changes and collaboration, which also lies outside the primary functionality of Service Studio.
