1. Traditional low-code platforms include the following categories:
1. APaaS (Application Platform as a Service) can realize the rapid development and delivery of applications throughout the application life cycle, simplify the compilation and deployment of applications, ensure availability, reliability and scalability, and control and monitor the operation of applications.
2. MADP (Mobile Application Development Platform) can better meet the digital business and innovation needs of enterprises, and is an important supplement to low-code development capabilities; at the same time, many foreign low-code development platforms are gradually strengthening their support for mobile application development. support.
3. The BPM platform focuses on process development and aims to improve organizational efficiency by systematically improving internal business processes. At present, the front-end of the BPM platform is mainly based on forms to achieve rapid development, and the style is relatively fixed. The back-end completes the step-by-step process development by analyzing the BPMN flowchart (business process modeling annotation).
With the development of the times and the advancement of technology, the current low-code platform can completely encapsulate the code and form components one by one to build better aPaaS, MADP, and BPM systems.
2. How to solve the efficiency problem with low-code platform
1. With visual development, what you see is what you get
Because the low-code development platform has a library of pre-built modules that can be reconfigured and updated based on operational needs, developers can write applications easily and seamlessly. Additionally, low-code platforms often allow developers to create custom modules and share them across the enterprise as reusable enterprise resources.
Like Tianling's low-code platform, 80% of the functions can be completed by dragging and dropping configuration, 7 major function engines, 1200+ function points, platform configuration process engine, form engine, report engine, view engine, interface engine, portal engine, organization The user engine and other seven visual functional components and a large number of practical business templates meet the needs of users in an all-round way.
2 The front and back ends are separated, and each performs its own duties, which shortens the development time
Low code equals less code, which means less development time and more developer productivity. However, that doesn't mean developers should invest in more development projects. Instead, they can focus more on meeting the needs of the original project, test them repeatedly, and finally deliver a product that users are more likely to accept and love.
Using the Tianling low-code platform, business personnel can simply drag and drop based on visual pages or tools to form a page of information. They can also configure and define data sources and data models based on the visual interface, simply define a process, and execute workflows.
All in all, the front-end drag and drop can form the front-end interactive language, and then generate the computer language that the back-end can execute.
3. Low-code realizes smooth cooperation, and interface integration and configuration can be opened up
Although business users and developers see the project from different perspectives, they both contribute value to the project, so collaboration between them is especially important. The existence of the low-code development platform effectively alleviates the communication barriers between the two, provides business users with easy-to-understand visual design tools, and promotes smooth cooperation between the two.
Provide detailed API interface: Through these interface platforms, it can be quickly integrated with other systems to realize two-way exchange of business data between systems, business process and other functions;
4. Low-code privatization deployment, local deployment, mastering the initiative of the second development
One of the advantages of Tianling's low-code platform is that it supports privatized deployment. Its core is proprietary resources. Since it is deployed within the enterprise, the cycle is bound to be longer, and it can be connected and integrated with the original software or hardware; SAAS cloud deployment It is ready-to-use, does not need to be deployed, and cannot be connected to the enterprise intranet system. Although the speed is fast, it may cause a lot of inconvenience in the future.
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. It also supports container deployment, which can achieve similar effects to cluster deployment and improve system performance.
