Low Code

What is low-code development?

Low code is a development approach that combines visual interfaces with minimal hand-coding, enabling faster application creation. Compared to no code, it offers more flexibility and customization, making it suitable for users with some technical skills. It's often used to build internal tools, automate workflows, or develop custom business applications.

Core characteristics of low-code development

• Visual development with code support: Most logic is built visually, but custom scripts or functions can be added when needed.
• Reusable components: Prebuilt modules for forms, workflows, and integrations speed up development.
• Greater customization: Allows fine-tuning of logic, UI behavior, and integrations beyond no-code limits.
• Developer-friendly: Designed for users with basic technical knowledge or developer support.

Benefits of low-code

• Faster than traditional coding: Build applications in weeks instead of months.
• More flexible than no-code: Handle complex logic, data relationships, or integrations.
• Reduced development cost: Less coding effort while maintaining customization.
• Scalable applications: Better suited for growing systems with increasing complexity.

Low-code vs no-code

No-code vs low-code vs traditional development decision guide

Choose no-code if:

• You need to launch fast
• Your team has little to no technical background
• The app is relatively simple and internal

Choose low-code if:

• You need customization without full-scale engineering
• Developers want to move faster using visual tools
• The app has complex workflows or integrations

Choose traditional development if:

• You are building large-scale, consumer-facing products
• Performance, security, or architecture is highly specialized
• Full control over every technical detail is required
