A complete guide to Low Code Development

With newer technologies, low code and no code are buzzwords amongst tech enthusiasts and software developers. This development methodology can help you elevate your coding experience. In this blog, learn more about low-code development. 

With more complex business applications being on the rise, it has become crucial that building those applications becomes simpler. Hence low code and no code development styles come into existence. Low code reduces the complexity of building good modern business apps adaptable to ever-changing markets. With the help of a low code development style,  organizations are better equipped to quickly adapt and respond to fast-changing business conditions. Here is a complete guide to low-code development 

What is low code?

Low code is basically a development environment that can change your coding style from textual to visual. With traditional coding environments, the developer has to figure out the functionality of each line from the lines of code. With low-code environments, people of all fronts, be they software developers or business stakeholders, or decision-makers can build value-driven enterprise business applications. Low code basically works in a model-driven, drag-and-drop interface, unlike the traditional interface. Low code can automate every step of the application development. Also, these development styles make development more accessible to all which can help accelerate the development process. 

How can low code help businesses?

The best part of Low code is its drag-and-drop functionality which is great for increasing the productivity of the developer. It will also help you visualize how the app will function while developing the code. 

Also since low code has pre-configured modules, logic, templates, and connectors, it becomes easy to build cross-platform apps which is customizable and scalable. 

Since it has a visual model of development, the collaboration also becomes easier with the help of built-in tools for feedback loops, revision tracking, user stories, messaging, and more.

Also generally low-code platforms are cloud-based and hence it becomes easy to scale the apps according to your market demands.

How unique is low code? 

Low code is not the same as no code. No code development is for developers who have no development experience. It is also very different from the traditional coding environment. Low code takes the best of both worlds and allows non-technical users and professional developers can apply their skillsets, collaborate, and co-develop solutions.

But which one to choose?

There are more than 300 vendors for low-code development. But here are some factors to consider to choose a low-code development platform

  1. Collaborative IDE

One of the main objectives of organizations opting for low code development is easier collaboration. It is crucial that the platform has separate accounts for professional and civilian developers. Your platform should have built-in tools to facilitate real-time collaboration between business and IT 

  1. Data integration

Your organization will most likely have a huge amount of data. So it is important that your platform must integrate with any system and data source. The platform must enable developers to find, understand, and use data from any internal or external source — without compromising data security.

  1. Application lifestyle management

Your low-code platform must have an integrated set of tools for support at any stage of application development. This will ensure that it ensures quality and it eliminates the traditional bottlenecks, costs, and risks associated with app delivery 

  1. User experience

Your low-code platform must develop and support web and mobile platforms and must ensure a smooth frictionless user experience. 

  1. Productivity

A big advantage of low code development is productivity. Your platform must ensure that it has no-code IDE with drag-and-drop widgets, reusable components, and real-time collaboration along with flexible integration and extensibility, as well as out-of-the-box DevOps tools to ensure productivity for civilian and professional developers respectively. 

  1. Cloud support

Your platform must support scalable cloud-native apps and should have the option to deploy on various cloud platforms. 

With all these factors to consider you can choose a low-code platform that is just right for you. Because it eases the application development cycle and makes it accessible to all, 

with time, low code will become the future of application development. Low code platforms will be an important tool for solopreneurs, businesses, and professional developers alike to build value-based applications that make an impact in the ever-changing market. So it is a very important leap of technology one must consider.
