Everything You Need to Know About Low-Code Platform Development

Businesses are beginning to use low-code platforms to develop and deploy apps, thereby relieving the burden on their IT departments by lowering the amount of hand-coding and code.

FREMONT, CA: Low-code development platforms enable professional and amateur developers to construct mobile applications using pre-written codes and templates. Most business team members do not know how to code, and developers do not understand the business requirements and business team members. LCPDs are an attempt to tackle this issue by giving everyone in the business a single language visual building piece. As a result of its complexity and the need to employ technical personnel, software development is time-consuming and costly. Organizations with a low-code development platform may eliminate time-consuming manual coding processes and accelerate app delivery.

Minimum Viable Products (MVPs): Low-code platforms allow developers to rapidly create Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) while exploring new ideas more quickly and affordably. Developers can leverage technologies such as IoT, AI, and machine learning, as well as legacy systems, with minimal to no coding. For instance, AntTail created a drug-tracking app using a low-code development platform to capitalize on its understanding of the pharmaceutical supply chain. Throughout the supply chain, the app can monitor and track the origin and temperature of medicines.

Applications on emerging systems: Customers desire to interact with companies via new platforms such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and conversational interfaces. Providing applications for these platforms enable businesses to boost critical KPIs such as customer satisfaction, customer retention, and revenue for these platforms' users. Some Multiexperience Development Platforms (MXDPs) permit development for these current platforms using no-code or low-code techniques.

Smart process apps: The primary objective of operational efficiency applications is to save expenses by automating manual operations. Employees or executives utilize these applications. North Carolina State University, for instance, employs a low-code development platform to create a course registration app that generates 500,000 non-credit course registrations annually.

Apps for software modernization: The objective of legacy-migration applications is to change applications that cannot support new processes or deliver the optimal user experience. The developer of a legacy migration program must ensure that it supports both new and old processes while including new features.

Automation: Low-code bot-building platforms (for example, most RPA platforms) can use to create bots that automate mundane and time-consuming activities in various industries, including education, automotive, sales, telecommunications, and more.
