15 best low-code platforms & how to use them

Did you know that most large companies have already adopted multiple low-code tools by the end of 2021?

Why?

  • Low-code tools improve their productivity
  • As companies struggle to hire developers, they are turning to tools that do not require coding knowledge.
  • As a result, businesses that can't hire developers can still create apps using low-code platforms.

What is the impact of low-code on the software industry?

Gartner predicted that the global market for low-code development technologies would grow by 23% this year alone. It is expected that low-code will grow even further in 2022.

Also, Market Research Future estimates that by 2027 the market will reach USD 73,820.4 million, increasing 26.5% year after year.

What is Low-code?

Low-code represents the ability to develop applications quickly and cost-effectively is one of the most significant benefits of low-code development platforms.

Rather than writing traditional computer programs, low-code development platforms allow IT and business professionals to develop business application software through graphical UI.

Instead of coding, UI components can be dragged and dropped to create apps visually. As part of the process, all of the project's components, such as front-end code and back-end configuration files, are automatically generated.

Apps can be SaaS, web-based products, or mobile applications developed with third-party toolkits. The toolkits enable app ideas to be developed, designed, and commercialized within a short time. With this method, you can build fast, fully-functional applications using just a few lines of code.

Why is low-code so popular?

  • Business acceleration through digital technology
  • An increasing number of APIs
  • Digital conversion in the IT
