On the stage of TEDx, an impressive demonstration of low‑code technology inspired entrepreneurs and developers around the world. Paulo Rosado, co‑founder of the OutSystems platform, created a fully functional mobile app for booking parking spots in just 15 minutes, live in front of the audience during his talk titled “The Future of Software Development.”
The goal of the demonstration was to show that developing digital products no longer has to be lengthy, expensive, or reserved only for professional programmers. Using only the visual drag‑and‑drop interface of OutSystems, Paulo step by step built an app that included a parking map integrated with Google Maps API, the ability to select and reserve a parking space, and a connection to the Stripe payment system for online payments — all without writing a single line of code.
On stage, he dragged and configured ready‑made components, connected external services, and showed how a fully working prototype could be assembled in just a few minutes. This striking moment, which begins around the 8‑minute mark of the video, sparked an enthusiastic response from the audience and clearly demonstrated that the future of development lies in tools that shorten the path from idea to finished product.
The talk has gathered over 2 million views on YouTube and has become one of the most well‑known examples of the power of the low‑code approach. It convincingly showed that even complex applications with integrations and external APIs can be built in minutes, involving not only programmers but also business users. Paulo Rosado’s demonstration became a symbol of how digital products can be developed faster, more easily, and more affordably, helping companies respond more quickly to market needs and reduce costs.
