Up to now, there are many mainstream low code/no code development platforms at home and abroad, many of which are relatively mature, such as OutSystems, Mendix, FileMaker, etc., while domestic cloud service providers such as Ali Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, As well as Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft and others have launched their own low code/no code development platforms.
So how does low code development in these enterprises come about?
In terms of specific technical implementation paths, low code development platforms can be broadly divided into two categories:
1. Forms-based patterns
With a focus on BPM technologies, a lightweight application can be cascaded through multiple hierarchical forms, such as a buy-sell-inventory management tool. Its focus is zero-code development, which can be seen as an upgrade to the traditional single-form authoring tool.
2. Model-driven patterns
Focusing on PaaS technology, applications of different types and scales can be developed through the construction of domain models, such as enterprise official website, APP, ERP, CRM, etc. It can respond to different levels of complex scene development needs of enterprises, and can serve both large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises.
Now say which realization path is dominant, are one-sided, stand at different angles.
In the tide of digital economy development, the low code without code development platform should enable everyone, including developers and ordinary business personnel, to become the leader and builder in the process of enterprise digitization. Make it easier for ordinary people!
With this goal in mind, cloud service providers with high application requirements are the main sources of low code investment. A cloud provider like Google Cloud will invest in several companies with different technology paths. Ali Cloud in the launch of its own brand low code development platform, but also invested in many platforms.
At present, there are more and more development platforms claiming no code and zero code in the market. Many people don’t know the difference between low-code and no-code development, and naively think that no-code development must be more attractive than low-code development.
1. First of all, low-code/no-code enterprises must have a certain digital foundation, and their employees must also have certain capabilities. To be fair, low code/no code does not mean that you can literally develop software without learning anything.
If an enterprise does not have a digital foundation and employees do not have a deep understanding of the business and process they are engaged in, they cannot generate application software at all, let alone play a positive role in the business development of the enterprise.
2. Secondly, we should have a deep understanding of the pain points of the actual business of the company. No matter technical personnel or business personnel, they must face the most critical pain points in finance, human resources, sales management, etc. New applications can solve these pain points, otherwise the development of new applications will become a water without a source, a tree without roots.
3. The company has accumulated certain data, such as sales data, talent data, logistics data, financial data, etc., which can be better utilized through code-free development.
4. Companies with more personalized needs are more likely to take advantage of low-code platforms to develop applications that meet their personalized needs. Faster development and lower amount of code is the eternal pursuit of low code development platform and the embodiment of enterprise core competition.
