The low-code platform can greatly reduce the cost of enterprise informatization development, shorten the development process, simplify the positions, and reduce the requirements for personnel skills. Through the low-code platform, the system required by the enterprise can be quickly built, and the information system can be Dynamic adjustment with the development of the enterprise.
Low-code platforms in a broad sense include low-code platforms and zero-code platforms, both of which belong to APaaS (Application Platform as a Service Application Platform as a Service). The main difference between the two is the degree of dependence on code:
Low-code platform: Through automatic code generation and visual programming, various applications can be quickly built with only a small amount of code
Zero-code platform: Business personnel with zero development experience can quickly build various applications by dragging and dropping without writing code
It can be seen from the above that the low-code platform is oriented towards developers, has strong professionalism, and can improve development efficiency, but requires users to have a certain technical foundation; the zero-code platform lowers the development threshold, thus extending the scope of users to business personnel, but zero-code platforms The development ability of the company is relatively limited, and it is more for customizing simple business.
Compared with the native development model, the low-code development platform can significantly improve development efficiency, and is especially suitable for enterprise application scenarios with rapid business changes, limited budgets and tight development time; The platform has a wider range of applications, can meet individual needs, and has strong flexibility.
1. Rapid development platform based on IDE framework
This solution fully visualizes the traditional integrated development environment (IDE). Developers can freely define front-end interface components, data source binding methods, data models, business logic and workflow, etc. The platform will automatically generate code, and developers can also You can add your own code and have strong control over the program, so this solution has higher flexibility and can design software with a high degree of customization and complex logic. Since the program still involves technical work such as code development and deployment, it is still a technology development platform that requires high learning costs. The main value is to improve development efficiency and reduce duplication of work.
2. Model-driven application platform
Users can build data models, views, permissions, workflows, etc. in a visual way, and they can run in the environment provided by the platform without compiling and deploying, which is more like a fool-like application building platform. The platform encapsulates various components and business logic at a higher level, so users cannot modify the interface style, interaction method, processing logic, etc. at will.
In terms of applicability and strict meaning, low-code platforms are more suitable for software companies, freelance developers, and large and medium-sized enterprises with information departments. For enterprises, they can quickly adjust dynamically with the development of enterprises, while small and medium-sized enterprises do not have full-time professional staff. The information department of the company (the cost is too high and cannot retain people), more needs to fit its own information products, which requires software service providers to provide.
Domestic low-code has just emerged in the past two years, and the current low-code service provider map:
The following is the interface design of the Kuaiji platform:
You can also directly design the mobile interface:
Generally speaking, what really opens up a low-code platform lies in the understanding and abstraction of the architecture for the business, which is more reflected in some details. Only the low-code platform born out of the business and born from the business is not a closed door. The current low-code platform market is huge, and all low-code platforms can grow in suitable business industries, take root in the soil of the industry, better serve the industry, and improve industry efficiency!
