The traditional programming method refers to working with an entire team of developers and programmers to gather specific requirements, develop a plan, and work with a development team to create custom code to meet the specific needs of an application. These processes are usually complex, expensive, and time-consuming. There also requires a continuous maintenance cycle by the developer to keep the custom software application secure and up to date.
The low-code application development platform, on the other hand, is a visual development approach to application building that empowers even non-technical users to build, test, manage, and deploy applications with minimal or no coding. Low-code platforms achieve this by creating ready-to-use code blocks (a collection of code for a specific functionality) that can be added through a simple drag-and-drop interface. In ONEWEB, we have Designer tools to make it easier to assemble the different application components like UI, Workflow, and Business Logic Microservices. Users can then connect them together to create mobile or web applications. This is the real-world means of converting business ideas into a system in a matter of minutes. This can be used to create complete applications from end to end as they support multiple uses cases and customization points. ONEWEB also provides an integrated work environment for managing the different application components and collaborating between multiple users.
No-code software, takes the low-code concept to another level, allowing literally anyone to tailor an application to their needs without any programming knowledge whatsoever. No-code platforms enable developers, citizen developers, and business users to quickly develop apps using drag-and-drop interfaces to create robust apps. But the limitation of these platforms is that they are usually industry-specific and can support only pre-fixed use cases.
