What should a good low-code development platform look like?
In terms of enterprise-level application construction, the complexity of completing an application does not gradually decrease with the advancement of technology, refinement of requirements, and changes in business requirements, but gradually increases. Users want to have a better experience, and the complexity is doubled.
Based on this, the key value of the low-code development platform is to change the way of application construction, such as enabling business personnel and developers to realize unimpeded communication with the help of rapidly built prototypes, to meet business needs in a short period of time, so as to adapt to fast iteration and innovation of business; through low-code visual design to reduce the complexity of application construction, provide business personnel with development capabilities, and effectively improve application construction productivity. In addition, whether cross-end application construction can be realized is also an important reference for evaluating low-code development platforms.
Therefore, the core capabilities that a good low-code development platform must possess include full-process visual design , full lifecycle management , and mobile development .
01
Visual design throughout the process
Promote the popularization and inclusiveness of application construction
The ability to design visual edits designed for multi-role use, support the entire process, and support model-associated updates is the design ability that low-code should have.
YonBuilder provides a visual interface editor. Provide services for more application participants than traditional developers through business-oriented interface design capabilities. Low-code visual design not only realizes drag-and-drop design, but more importantly, broadens the scope of users, allowing more citizen developers with different knowledge backgrounds to complete application construction (including but not limited to user interface, business process, approval process, and business logic), allowing more roles to participate in the application construction process.
At the same time, YonBuilder supports model association update. Low-code essentially reduces the difficulty and improves efficiency for developers and users through various model capabilities. A complete low-code development platform should serve professional developers and business executives at the same time. It must support forward modeling such as automatic generation of data models or change page models, and also support reverse generation of more business-oriented models such as page models and process models or reverse modeling of change data models.
02
Full Lifecycle Management
Form a closed loop of "demand input-delivery-demand input"
The application construction based on YonBuilder starts from the input of requirements, through the development process of analysis, design, development, testing, release and launch of public cloud/specialization and delivery of privatization projects, to operation and maintenance after release, operation, and then to problem feedback and new requirements to form demand input again, forming a closed-loop full life cycle management.
In this closed loop, product managers, requirements analysts, architects, developers, testers, operation and maintenance personnel, operation personnel, technical support personnel and other roles will be involved in their own work and collaborative work. The low-code development platform must have the characteristics of a full life cycle in order to truly achieve the goal of controlling the entire application development process from the overall perspective, achieving rapid delivery, and reducing development costs.
In low-code development platforms, the ability to write code is still necessary. YonBuilder provides the ability to quickly intervene and insert code at all levels and stages of the application, such as adding custom components, customizing personalized logic processing, and embedding three-party applications in the process of information transmission.
YonBuilder packages and refines basic capabilities such as data processing, model architecture, and business support services into low-code development scaffolding. Professional developers write code based on scaffolding, improve programming efficiency, and integrate iteration, release, and operation processes. At the same time, it also provides a script editor that encapsulates capabilities such as data processing, data query, process control, and API calls, providing fast and flexible personalized execution logic design capabilities for enterprise informatization implementers and business domain experts between business users and professional developers.
03
YonBuilder Mobile Development Platform
Meet the needs of enterprise-level mobile applications
YonBuilder also has strong capabilities in the field of mobile development.
YonBuilder mobile development platform is based on the wide application of cloud native, visualization, hybrid development, API connection, DevOps and other capabilities, forming a solid ecological barrier and advanced agile development capabilities. A set of codes can simultaneously generate iOS, Android, applets and other multi-terminal applications, and has a high-performance native experience.
04
Enable agile development
All in YonBuilder
YonBuilder is a low-code development platform for enterprise organizations and individual developers . It provides no-code and low-code visual development capabilities, and integrates agile mobile development technology to achieve rapid application construction. Using YonBuilder, developers can build an application several times faster than traditional methods. This is not a lie, but a fact that happens every day.
YonBuilder can support full-role development, whether it is IT personnel or business personnel, they can easily build applications. At the same time, YonBuilder integrates the development scenarios of To B and To C, realizing full-scenario development.
YonBuilder provides metadata-driven, click-and-drag + automatic code generation and multi-terminal compilation technologies, and seamlessly integrates with open platforms, connection integration platforms, and DevOps platforms to form a complete development and construction service covering development, integration, testing, deployment, operation, and operation and maintenance. With the further integration of more professional capabilities, YonBuilder is becoming more integrated .
YonBuilder is not just a low-code development platform, but a low-code development and integration family, including low-code application development, low-code data analysis, low-code AI development, low-code blockchain construction and low-code integration connection, making All in YonBuilder a reality .
Through different levels of services and tools, YonBuilder is helping business users, implementation consultants, industry experts, and professional developers to build applications together and support each other on one platform, so that everyone can become a creator of business applications.
