Well this article is about Low code- It’s a visualized approach to software development.

There’s a need for new software applications for business purpose and placed their demands on software developers for creating custom applications in volume and other unique needs.

What is Low code ?

Low code development is a platform for development environment where application software is being created through a graphical user interface (GUI). It may require extra coding for some solutions and may produce operational applications.

Here large number of people can contribute for the application development as it can lower the cost for setup and maintenance, etc.  

Use Cases :

2. Core Systems :

• Due to core system companies use to contact to their customers and employees conditions.
• Low code provides a collaborative, agile method for application lifecycle.
• Applications were built on matured low-code platforms which are cloud native and multi-cloud portable .
• These apps scales are highly secure.

3. B2C Mobile App :

• Low – code is used to built best breed apps which cannot be downloaded through an app store or run in browser without costs.
• Low code build mobile apps from single platform for companies.

1. Deprived customization
2. Finite incorporation
3. Get tied to low-code platform
4. Can’t build a proper API

Features :
