What is a low-code enterprise application platform?
Over the years different type of code types have been developed. One of them is low-code.
A low-code enterprise application platform is a software development platform that enables organizations to create and deploy business applications with minimal or no coding required. These platforms provide a visual drag-and-drop interface that allows users to design and develop applications using pre-built components, workflows, and integrations.
Low-code platforms aim to simplify and accelerate the application development process by automating much of the coding work. This enables business users and citizen developers to create applications faster and more efficiently than traditional coding methods. These platforms often include features such as collaboration tools, reporting and analytics, and mobile support to facilitate the development of complex business applications. The biggest advantage of this is that alot of work is automated and you don’t need multiple specialist to built an application.
In the video down below you can see an example of how Mendix is used. In this video you can see a couple of steps that normaly require multipel roles if you want to realize it in highcode. You can see that one user can built an application in just 5 steps. There is no need for multiple people or specialists which speeds up the process and you can built entire new applications is just hours instead of weeks. The enterprise platform takes care of the technical work. Therefore the user can focus on delivering an application.
The steps are shown in the demo down below:
1. Building a dashboard from a business perspective. This is done by dragging & dropping from templates.
2. Creating a database with tables for: product, part and an object from a SAP application (SalesOrder).
3. Connecting the database to the dashboard
4. Creating custom logic to show specific information for the bike and connecting this to a button (see details).
5. Running the application. Mendix will ensure everything is deployed to the cloud (or on-premises). You can see your example right away. It’s available for multiple platforms (both web & mobile)
What are the pro's and cons of low-code?
We recently publised an article about what the pro’s and cons are of the different types of code that are existing nowadays. If you want to learn more about the different kind of code and it’s pro’s and codes you can read the article: ‘The best type of code & it’s differences: no-, low– and highcode‘.
Advantages:
- You can create software lightning-fast with predefined building blocks.
- You don’t need to be a programmer to learn new features or functionalities. A citizen developer can build software since the low-code tool guides the citizen developers.
- You can customize specific areas to your requirements. However, you need the expertise to be able to do this. But, this customization can be done by a citizen developer.
- You don’t need the experience to maintain software or know how to set up an application. You can rely on the low-code solution.
Disadvantages:
- You need some understanding to use low code and deliver customized features.
- You need to work within the boundaries of the low-code platform.
- You need expertise with low-code tools to build high-performing applications.
