Everything about Low-code development platform
Software development with little code writing
A low-code development platform (LCDP) provides a software development environment – typically a graphical user interface (GUI) – that involves little or no writing of code. A low-code platform may produce entirely operational applications, or require additional coding for specific situations. Low-code development platforms are typically on a high abstraction level, and can reduce the amount of traditional time spent, enabling accelerated delivery of business applications. A common benefit is that a wider range of people can contribute to the application's development, not only those with coding skills, but good governance is needed to be able to adhere to common rules and regulations. LCDPs can also lower the initial cost of setup, training, deployment, and maintenance. Wikipedia →
