Since the popularity of low-code, some people have criticized it and some people have praised it. Those who oppose it think that for those real programmers, it is simply a tumor, just a concept of hype. When the dust settles, it must be a chicken feather.
But for those companies that lack technology and talents, and need digitalization, it is simply a life-saving straw. After all, it can realize system applications with low cost and high efficiency. Who doesn't want to try it?
And as the market practice proves, the low-code platform is not the "pseudo-demand" that some people call it, but the "rigid demand" that can really solve the problem.
So what exactly can low-code platforms solve? These 5 core points may allow you to understand!
1. Shorten the development cycle:
The graphical interface is drag-and-drop to build business processes, and code generation is performed in the background, reducing front-end and back-end code work, shortening development time , and business personnel can skip development and go directly from requirements to products .
For the low-code cloud platform, it can also save the work of environment construction , and develop in the cloud anytime, anywhere .
Taking the J2PaaS enterprise-level low-code platform as an example, the platform integrates routine functions that need to be completed by programmers in the framework. Developers only need to focus on business logic. The related functions such as page assembly and process design have been built in, and controls, components, and pages are directly It can be configured by dragging and dropping, so it can greatly save the time of developing the underlying functions .
2. Reduce application cost:
The simplicity and ease of use of the low-code platform virtually lowers the development threshold, allowing junior developers and even business personnel to use the platform to quickly develop application software and reduce the labor cost of software development .
Moreover , the reuse of components and functions in the platform can also avoid repeated wheel building , and can reduce other types of expenditures for application software development at the same time .
3. Development flexibility :
Low-code visual development achieves the effect of what you see is what you get, which can further improve the matching degree between application development and requirements. In addition, the J2PaaS platform also has the function of changing and validating, adding new functions of the software, modifying bugs, etc., without downtime to update, using parameters (metadata) to drive, only need to update the configuration release, which is convenient for quick trial and error.
4. Strong scalability :
Scalability is also a necessary function of the low-code platform. The unified interface access method, through parameter configuration and online testing, realizes data diversity for third-party application calls, such as docking to DingTalk, enterprise WeChat and other mobile office platforms.
There is also the development of API interfaces, which is also the characteristic competitiveness of low-code platforms. In addition to the built-in ready-made interfaces, it also supports the rapid development of APIs, which saves a lot of development time and reduces difficulty compared to traditional development.
5. Security and stability:
In software development, the most common problems come from developers' code bugs. The low-code platform encapsulates the process engine, unified interfaces, and abstracts through components, reducing human participation and making the system more stable.
At the platform level, unified security management measures can be implemented. For example, rights management, anti-hacker attack, etc., to ensure software security from the whole, users do not need to pay too much attention.
In the past 20 years of application, the J2PaaS platform has customized a number of solutions for financial institutions such as banks and exchanges. The security and stability of the platform have been fully verified, which can ensure the safe and stable use of the developed application system.
