Today’s businesses are implementing enriching their operations with capabilities little by little on a variety of different products. But the trend is clear before you know it, the distinction between tools that are powerful enough for professional development teams and to be simple enough for citizen developers.

At this point, Low-Code and No-Code will merge into a single market segment for both enterprise-class and user-friendly developers at the same time.

Before heading, let’s identify the distinct functions of low code and no code in app development, by bifurcating them.

Difference between low code and no code development

• Low Code: Low code is a development move that automates time-consuming manual processes, without manual coding, using a visual IDE environment, which is automation that connects to backends, and application management system.

• No code: In the same way as low-code platforms, no code platform uses a visual application system that allows users to create applications without coding. Usually this includes drag and drop functions. An example of this is Salesforce CRM, which enables people with coding skills to code, and those who don’t have those skills can build simple apps without using the system.

Further, as the need for low code and no code is surging due to increased requirement, trends depict how the picture of coding might get changed.

Trends predicted to change app development methods

Emerging technologies are taking over the old fashioned and conventional development stages.

Stimulating innovation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is soon to be the most disruptive. Some providers are already integrating AI into their Low-Code / No-Code platforms for various purposes. For example, AI can help address the most complex challenges of integrating with semi-structured and unstructured data sources.

AI can also provide best action advice for different workflow scenarios, essentially giving application creators the same ability to autocomplete to create reasonably complex process logic.

Some vendors even develop connection conditions, exception management, and many other situations that have forced experienced professionals to code manually.

Low-Code / No-Code is expected to move out the traditional way of coding and business model. Large system integrators, in particular, are unknowingly slowing down the transformation of the human capital needed to equip tomorrow’s staff with the right skills.

Yes, this could be a fact.

Not only do several IT people fear their jobs, but the Low-Code / No-Code also threatens their credibility.

The need for manual coding will always be there as someone will have to create the Low-Code / No-Code platforms and tools themselves.

Over time, business application development will, therefore, focus almost exclusively on building declarative applications supported by AI, while vendors remain relevant by focusing on platforms and underlying tools.

Current providers of no-code or low code, however, are quick to point out the differences between the current generation technology and the previous technology.

The aggression of the digital transformation

As today’s companies undergo a digital transformation, they are becoming tech-driven organizations, which is why it has become increasingly strategic to have developers who can manually code software. After all, this need is the motive for DevOps in all industries.

Low-Code or No-Code will disrupt this entire scheme, as companies realize they can succeed even better in their digital transformations. If they eliminate manual coding, using Low-Code / No-Code across organizations can be fruitful for businesses in running their operations.

Do you feel the need to make your business standout?

As we see enterprises are facing concerns related to tech creation owing complex development stages and inopportune upgradation. However, if the low-code or no-code systems are executed with best practice, the objective of implementing citizen developers may soon come to reality.
