Why Low Code or No Code Platforms?

Now a days the demand of low code platforms are increasing where the developer has to write less code and use drag and drops more. Fast software delivery is crucial to meet the project deadlines. Here are the reasons why the software delivery is failing.

  • Projects take too long.
  • Processes are inflexible.
  • Change is to expensive and slow.
  • Talents are out of date.

So to meet the fast software delivery needs the use of Low Code Platforms in the most of the IT enterprises is must. These are the reason to use low code platforms.


Fast Software Delivery is Crucial


Visual description much faster than coding
Declarative tooling, pre-built components and controls

Easy, immediate, low cost on-ramp
On-demand access, low costs, no enterprise sales cycle, no training

Discover true requirements and real value
Try out ideas at no or low cost, see the apps you build and modify it

Generate mobile apps from older apps
Available responsive design, reusable UX definitions

Empower developers you can find and afford
Powerful tooling replaces need for top-tier talent, fast ramp training

What is a low-code development platform?

It’s important to elaborate on three important requirements of any low-code development platform:
  1. Visual Development Tools: To minimise hand-coding, low-code platforms must offer easier, more intuitive ways to build apps.  Such approaches empower both professional developers and business users to build apps much faster than hand-coding.
  2. App Store: Productivity can be further accelerated with low-code development platforms that offer an App Store populated with templates, widgets, plug-ins and even complete business components. In this sense, developing apps becomes more like visually “orchestrating” the necessary building blocks, versus reinventing the wheel each project.
  3. Full App Life-cycle Support: Despite their name, low-code development platforms don’t focus only on the development piece of the equation; they provide a single environment that supports the entire app delivery life-cycle: design, build, deploy, manage and iterate. As such, in additional to visual development tools, they typically include capabilities like social collaboration, project management, full deployment and application monitoring, end user feedback loops, etc. The time to market advantage of visual development (over hand-coding) is mitigated if there’s not a seamless way to move apps along the life-cycle, particularly in terms of deployment.
