An Introduction to No-Code App Platform for Business

What Is No-Code Development, and How Does It Work?

No-Code development is a distinct method of software development that facilitates digital transformation in businesses of all sizes. In layman's terms, no-code development is the process of creating apps without writing any code.

No-code platforms based on SaaS enable enterprises to produce software considerably quicker and for a fraction of the cost of a typical code-based approach. Traditional coding initiatives take ten times longer to complete than no-code development projects.

Recreating the Real-World API With Low-Code

Building a fully functional REST API from the ground up is a large project for any developer and even more challenging for IT professionals unfamiliar with the nuances of how APIs are coded, deployed, and maintained.  

Thereʼs is an opportunity for low-code tools to reduce the time spent on API integrations. These tools can lighten your load and manage most of the complexity for you, allowing developers to work on other aspects of their stack. 

What Is Low-Code

Today’s business world is very competitive and challenging. Organizations face higher demand for initiatives in digital transformation. Digital transformation enables businesses to become more agile and innovative. This requires qualified developers who can work rapidly and accurately to create complex business applications and processes. Handwritten code has some risks associated with that as it can have longer delivery times, and the changes can be very costly. Also, the outcome is highly dependent on skilled developers. 

Most organizations are looking for developers, which has created a shortage of skilled developers. The lack of experienced developers is hitting the productivity of the digital transformation journey, which has forced organizations to look for alternatives. This article by Betsy Atkins on Forbes claims that the most disruptive trend in 2021 is low-code.
