In 2020 we announced the creation of Sirius Web, the cloud-based version of Sirius Desktop. This new project has kept the initial spirit of Sirius - easy creation of custom graphical modeling tools - on a modern technical stack facilitating the deployment to end-users. In this talk, we will come back to the principles that made the success of Sirius in multiple and various specific domains, and how Obeo supports the worldwide community of adopters in its discovery of the technology, the inception of tailored modeling workbenches and their deployment on operational projects. We will also explain what drives this important shift to the web: open-source foundations, full-web definition, modern UX, integration with other web applications, open-innovation to develop new features, ...
