I have been researching low-code platforms for 3 years, and I can be regarded as an experienced low-code user. Many companies face difficulties in low-code selection. It is easy to choose a platform, but difficult to change one. The following is based on personal understanding to make a thousand-word note for everyone! I hope it will be of some help to everyone in the selection of low-code. In the end, correct and reasonable selection.
1. Do you support providing source code?
During the project development process, the requirements are not static, and sometimes it is even encountered that the developed functions are deprecated and then added back. In the face of frequent requirement changes and difficult troubleshooting, if the source code can be provided, the enterprise can use the source code to freely organize the secondary development of the software or system to better meet the needs.
The JNPF low-code development platform implements the source code delivery mechanism, so that enterprises have no worries. Users have absolute autonomy in disposing of the platform source code, which can completely get rid of the dependence on the original manufacturer; enterprises can customize and freely construct the business scenarios they want.

2. Does it support system integration?
Data islands have always been the most desired problem in the enterprise information industry. As a new generation of software development technology, low-code naturally cannot make the developed applications become new data islands. Therefore, whether it is connecting to an existing database or supporting interoperability with other software through APIs, low-code must be open and scalable.
Moreover, many low-code platforms now have the ability to solve data islands, can open up multiple systems, and achieve synergy by integrating multi-source data.
The JNPF platform has strong integration capabilities, mainly in third-party integration such as business integration and hardware integration. The platform provides detailed API interfaces, through which the platform can quickly integrate with other systems, realize the two-way exchange of business data between systems, business processing procedures and other functions; through the interface platform, it can quickly and friendly communicate with other IT systems or intelligent hardware Integrate and support the interconnection with the original system of the enterprise.
3. Does it support privatization deployment?
With the development of the Internet, data security has gradually become a key issue. It can be said that data is the lifeblood of any enterprise, so many enterprises will choose to deploy data locally.
Therefore, when an enterprise chooses a low-code platform, especially an enterprise that wants to apply low-code for a long time and has high data security, it should consider whether it can be deployed privately, and can choose a specific deployment method according to the number of online users and the number of concurrent users. , Deploy the platform on the enterprise's own server to ensure the absolute security of data.
The JNPF low-code platform supports privatized deployment, realizes physical isolation of data in the true sense, and completely makes decisions about its own data. At the same time, the platform supports a variety of different deployment schemes, and specific deployment methods can be selected according to the number of online users and the number of concurrent users.
4. How to ensure the security of the developed application?
In addition to data security, the security of the low-code platform itself is also crucial. Although most of the logic in applications developed using low-code platforms is built by low-code developers themselves, not by low-code platform manufacturers. But the security of the low-code platform will affect the developed application system.
So, how do we assess the security of a platform? A very simple method: You can see if the case of the low-code platform has experience in financial and banking cases, because these industries generally have relatively high security requirements, and they can definitely be used in general industries.
5. Is it flexible and scalable?
The needs of enterprises for technical scenarios are changeable, especially for some enterprises that need to apply cutting-edge technologies, they are particularly concerned about the integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things, digital twins, and artificial intelligence, and low-code platforms need to be able to meet these requirements. The ability to meet various needs for rapid docking and expansion. Such as the development of IOT interface, the application of BI data large screen, etc.
If it only has the ability to quickly develop low-code, but lacks flexible scalability, then this type of low-code platform can only meet the basic software development needs of enterprises, and does not have growth attributes.
at last
Of course, although the above 5 points cannot fully cover the issues that enterprises should consider when choosing low-code, they can provide certain references for enterprises. If you happen to be choosing a low-code platform, you can analyze the decision from these 5 angles .
