- 2. Visual Builder Functional from first minute Applications built with no-code/low-code platforms are functional from first time they are created. Features are added progressively and can be visualized immediately. This greatly simplifies the development process and feedback loops. Add code to achieve complexity No platform can solve 100% of the more complex requirements. Low-Code platforms allow builders to add custom code to extend the built-in capabilities. This allows to achieve same flexibility as with a fully coded application. What is No-Code/Low-Code? Most of the functionality of the application is achieved through configuration. These are normally forms where various settings are adjusted to provide the desired outcome. This greatly reduces the amount of code that would have had to be written and maintained. Configuration Based Either it’s defining the user interface, the business logic, or mapping out data models, low-code platforms provide visual drag&drop interfaces for builders to use. This greatly accelerates development.
