Low-Code development offers many advantages when creating an app, but how do you choose the best platform? Here are some points to keep in mind
Mobile channels are increasingly in demand, as the number of digital consumers continues to grow. With that, the need to bring an application to the market quickly has become a challenge for every business, especially for banking.
In the face of that challenge, Low-Code development simplifies and speeds up the development process, prioritizing user needs at all times.
Low-Code development allows you to create applications in an agile way, in record time. The technology can assist with the construction of an app from scratch as well as offering preconfigured templates to work from.
According to a Gartner study, this year, it is projected that half of all apps will be developed via Low-Code platforms. So how do you choose the best Low-Code development platform for your business?
There are many variations regarding a Low-Code platform. It is key to think carefully about who will use the development platform, and how you want the final product to function, in order to choose the one that best meets the needs of your business.
Low-Code platforms are very useful both for the development team itself and for those who focus more on the business side.
According to those who will use this tool the most, you can choose between no-code platforms and Low-Code development platforms. It is worth briefly reviewing the difference between the two types since these often generate confusion.
While both simplify the development process, on a no-code platform you literally don't have to add a single line of code. These platforms are especially useful for staff outside the IT team.
When developing on a Low-Code platform, you can include your own code to perfect the final product. Increasingly, these platforms are highly user-friendly, but compared to no-code platforms, they offer significant flexibility for those who can write code.
For the development team, Low-Code tools remove the heavy burden of coding from scratch, but with the advantage of offering full flexibility over the final product.
The other key aspect when choosing a Low-Code development tool is to consider the final projects. Are you building an app to download or an app that can be operated in the browser? Do you have the capacity to keep up with important updates, such as security upgrades?
Taking this question into account, think about the two options to generate code that a Low-Code platform can provide: there are code generation platforms and model-driven execution platforms.
Code generation platforms create apps that can be run independently of the platform, thanks to the generation of executable code. This type of platform allows you to create native apps for Apple and Android iOS devices, including those that can be run without an Internet connection. By launching these apps, your company is in charge of updating it to work with new devices, new security requirements, etc.
Model execution platforms give a representation of the app, which is run, typically, in the cloud. Simplifying and accelerating the development of applications is one of its most notable advantages, since they can be executed as soon as some pieces are assembled. Plus, platforms take care of updates and security, which also takes a load off the development team.
Given the different advantages of each type of Low-Code platform, start by identifying the needs of each business, and make sure security is a priority at all times. Selecting the best Low-Code development platform requires knowing and understanding all the tools, as well as determining your deployment (local or in the cloud) strategy.
