As digital transformation accelerates, businesses need to develop and deliver applications more quickly to adapt to changes in market demands and customer demands. In this case, the low-code platform has become one of the preferred solutions for enterprises.
Compared with traditional development, the development time of low-code development is still short, and it cannot be perfect. If enterprises choose blindly, not only will it not help their development, but they will also step from one predicament to another, aggravating the digital burden.
So, what are the disadvantages of low-code, and how does the rapid development framework solve these problems?
As a software development technology, low-code is derived from the high-level language of software development, allowing users to build and deliver application software more quickly with less coding in a visual way, reducing software development costs in an all-round way. But in practice, low-code development still needs to write code. Developers must have professional knowledge of database and code writing, master relevant knowledge of programming languages, understand low-code ability levels, and so on.
In this regard, the rapid development framework adopts a variety of development modes, which not only support the use of simple code for visual programming development, but also support the use of modules to build applications without code. Business personnel can use the graphical user interface to quickly build simple applications such as forms, processes, and reports without coding, and manage processes, permissions, and users; at the same time, professional developers can also write a small amount of code. extension.
On the other hand, third-party integration also brings a certain proportion of security risks, because most low-code development platforms rely on third-party systems to exchange or transmit data, and organizations cannot regularly follow up on these data, thus bringing high costs to the business. risk. Moreover, most third-party systems also use low-code functions, such as drag and drop, visual graphics, etc., which also brings uncontrollability to enterprises.
Aiming at security issues, the rapid development framework focuses on deployment methods, system security mechanisms, authority management, and control functions to empower developers to build secure enterprise-level applications that comply with enterprise rules. The rapid development framework supports local deployment, and adopts the multi-tenant mode to ensure that the data of each application is effectively isolated to prevent data leakage and cross-attacks; for user authorization, multiple authentication programs such as single sign-on are provided, and fine-grained access control is supported Policies to protect user security for RBAC-based applications.
Moreover, as the Internet has entered a period of sinking in recent years, enterprises will also require the development of corresponding small programs while developing APP products. However, there is no unified standard or access method among various small program technologies, resulting in new technological fragmentation. Signs of a poor low-code solution include not supporting native mobile app development, and developers are bound to develop and adapt applets differently for different ends, which imposes new burdens on developers and businesses.
The rapid development framework provides the industry with a solution that uses a set of codes to simultaneously develop APPs, applets, and H5, reducing development and management costs, and releasing manpower to improve efficiency. Developers do not need to build a specific terminal compilation environment. Relying on a large number of industry components preset in the LR rapid development framework, and using unified development tools and programming languages for cross-platform mobile development, they can accelerate the development and implementation of enterprise-level applications and easily handle them. Innovative Mobile Internet Challenges.
Traditional development, zero-code development, and low-code development each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Enterprises still have to proceed from actual use to choose the most suitable solution. For enterprises pursuing high flexibility and complex business scenarios, the rapid development framework may be the optimal solution.
