What is Low-Code Development?

Low-code development is a streamlined approach to software development where applications are built using visual models and drag-and-drop interfaces instead of extensive coding. Designed to accelerate the application lifecycle, low-code platforms empower users with varying technical expertise to create applications and automate workflows effectively.

Low-Code vs. No-Code: Key Differences

While both low-code and no-code platforms simplify application development, they cater to different user groups:

Low-Code: Aimed at developers and tech-savvy users, low-code allows more customization and flexibility through limited coding. Ideal for complex projects. No-Code: Best for business users with no technical expertise, no-code platforms offer pre-configured templates but limit customization.
