Why say NO to no code/low code App development?

The no-code ‘movement’ has sort of taken up the programming world by storm. A 2024 report by Gartner notes that by 2025, 70% of all app development processes will leverage the low-code/no-code technologies to do this.

This extreme surge in its popularity relies on the commitment of standardizing app development. This empowerment would lead to building software without writing a single line of code.

Why do people choose no code development?

The following are some advantages offered by no-code technologies:

a) Increased Accessibility With no-code, one doesn’t require any prior knowledge, making app development heavily accessible to entrepreneurs, businesspersons, or simply anyone with a good idea.

b) Chasing the Speed This process streamlines the development, making space for quicker prototyping, and faster turnaround times compared to conventional coding practices.

c) Cost Reductions By eradicating the demand for a dedicated developer’s unique code, no-code technologies highly reduce the need for heavy investments.

d) Innovative Outlook Simply the ease of use brings forth a culture of constant experimentation. This furthers the capabilities of the human mind, while bringing innovative solutions to the market.

Now that we have understood the simple gist of its benefits, let’s look at certain instances where no-code is the highly preferred way of development.

Ideal Cases for No-Code

1. Internal Tools for Businesses No-code platforms are fantastic for building custom internal tools that automate repetitive tasks and improve team collaboration. They can also help companies create user-friendly dashboards & reporting systems to understand the KPIs and insights into internal operations.

For businesses with simple enterprise CRM systems, no-code platforms can prove to be cost-effective to manage customer interactions, track leads, and ultimately build a healthy customer relationship.

2. Building Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) No-code platforms allow for rapid prototyping, testing & iteration through a range of functionalities like the drag-and-drop & pre-built component. This work while developing MVPs to validate it with the market by using user insights to develop further.

By bypassing lengthy processes, no-code platforms allow quicker launches of the MVP. In turn, businesses get a first-mover advantage to capture the market early on.

3. Aiding the non-technical users No-code development supports an entire field of creators. Business users with zero to no coding experience can now build internal tools to increase workplace efficiency.

Business owners can secure fundings through this way without even hiring developers!

Such are the awesome ways of no-code. But hold on, let me burst this bubble of joy & ease, because no-code might not work for you always!

In this next section, we’ll be dwelling upon why exactly no-code technologies don’t live up to their standard of delivery while making today’s app. Let’s go!

When must you say NO to no-code?

1. If you want to create truly customizable applications

Here’s the truth- you probably won’t be able to create market-breaking apps using no-code.

Traditional methods of development offer far more control over the app’s architecture, developing a distinctive UX, as compared to no-code platforms.

Right now, the only thing that customers respect is ���value’. More like, delivering exceptional value in every of your launches.

In app development, this ‘value’ can come out in different ways. It could be a user interface so intuitive it feels cutting-edge, or a suite of advanced features that leave competitors in the dust.

While no-code platforms do offer streamlined development for applications, the pre-existing templates & function don’t allow for a lot of customized solutions, or any unique features.

These readily available functionalities let go of product differentiation, leaving users with similar-looking subpar applications.

2. If you want to manage your assets efficiently

No-code platforms can introduce complexity to software development asset management. This is due to the nature of the components built.

A fast-paced development company requires robust security & asset management processes. These must cover all crucial assets (software, apps, etc), especially within compliance-heavy industries like banking.

By streamlining asset management, you can tighten application security, minimize errors, and ensure swift deployment of security patches using traditional methods of development.

3. If you want to build secure & trusted apps

To navigate the growing landscape of data security regulations and combat the ever-present threat of breaches, a comprehensive software development approach is a must.

Such an approach enhances data security and privacy through:

– Up-to-date software components

– Secure coding practices

– Meticulous code reviewing

– Rigorous testing with perspectives of security and compliance

– Effective project management

4. If you want to easily solve technological complexities

Traditional dedicated developers offer a composite view of solutions for technological complexities that arise. It allows them to develop a specialized expertise of programming languages, giving more room to custom solutions, optimized performance, scalability, security & long-term maintenance and support.

All these crucial aspects cater to trustable and robust applications that no-code simply can’t match.

5. If you want to win the rat race of cutting-edge tech

No-code platforms, while standardizing application development, often don’t fulfill the demands of cutting-edge technologies. They lack the adaptability to handle the deep logic & algorithms in AI/ML, or complex data analysis.

It’s like building a Tesla with drag-and-drop tools. These platforms don’t have the fine-tuned controls required to build complex applications.

6. If you want to control your code

No-code platforms might bring up situations of vendor lock-ins, limiting a developer’s access to the raw code. Proprietary tech, data siloes, less customization, and limited integrations- these issues exist while working with such platforms.

A developer may as well give up entire control of his application.

To ponder,

Reasons like these explain why going for the easier option is never the winning solution. All development methods must be analyzed every time by companies and dedicated developers alike to choose the optimal solution, and not the easy one.

Don’t misunderstand- it’s just the art of recognizing when to use no-code/low-code development.

As an IT services company, we recommend embracing these tools for rapid prototyping, simpler applications, or internal cases. But, for core business and client applications that demand performance or intricate functionalities, a dedicated developer’s expertise in crafting robust, customizable code remains irreplaceable.
