Low-code

In software development, low-code allows people with limited coding experience to create applications using a GUI (graphical user interface) and pre-built components, minimizing the need to enter code manually. By reducing the amount of traditional hand-coding required, low-code offers faster delivery of finished applications.

On an LCDP (low-code development platform), users can utilize visual and drag-and-drop tools to design interfaces, define data models, create workflows, and integrate other useful objects. These platforms often provide a library of templates that can be tailored to meet specific business needs. In addition to faster development cycles, this approach reduces the learning curve for coding and promotes collaboration between technical and non-technical teams. Also, LCDPs can lower the initial costs associated with setup, training, deployment, and product maintenance.

While useful, it's important to note that low-code development platforms can have limitations when creating complex or deeply-customized applications. Sometimes, organizations might need to switch from low-code to traditional coding to create certain functions or achieve specific performance or customization goals.
