What is Low-code development?
Low-code development is an approach to building software and mobile apps efficiently. Reducing the need and complexity of hand-coding, low-code enables a platform or business application to be built and delivered faster.
Low-code applications are created using visual modeling tools such as pre-built connectors, smart services, drag-and-drop modelers, and components. These tools enable users with limited technical knowledge to develop apps, freeing experienced IT professionals to focus on more significant projects.
Low-code solutions accelerate a business’s path to a more agile, profitable, and sustainable future. By embracing low-code development, companies will be able to move faster with more productive employees, and they will be in a better position to drive innovation and revenue.
What are the benefits of Low-code development?
- Speed and agility: Low-code tools enable non-programmers to develop the software they need and solve their technical challenges with drag-and-drop features.
- Quality: Less is more when it comes to code. With pre-built and tested components, the risk of bugs or developer error is drastically reduced.
- Because there is less code, citizen developers can avoid steps like planning systems architecture, setting up backend frameworks, hard-coding, and endless testing rounds—and focus on creating a quality app instead.
- Talent pool: By lowering the barrier to entry for a new class of developers, businesses can start to address the growing skills gap while investing in growth for current employees.
