Another Exciting Chapter in the World of Digitalisation!
There’s a new kid on the block within the technology landscape. A revolutionary breakthrough that has changed the face of coding. Introducing Low-Code, a newer, sleeker and more accessible version of code designed for the citizen developer (a term that has emerged to describe non-technical people able to build applications).
While low-code promises to be the next best thing, it still requires an elevated level of competence and support from those in the know.
According to Gartner, the technical phenomenon of low-code is set to expand further into the technology market generating estimates of $5.8 billion in 2022. The pandemic has partly been the key driver in fueling remote production.
The benefit of low-code is having the ability to build and design any application with ease and convenience. Indeed, read in a certain way, the term “low code” presents itself as something ‘simple’ and ‘easy to use, but don’t be fooled. Jack Wallen -writer for The New Stack- sums it up.
“There’s a complexity to the modern low-code system that not only requires software engineering experience, it also demands a solid understanding of business processes and data.”
The Low-code Misconception
There is a misconception that the no-code/low-code platforms are of inferior quality. The reality is quite the opposite. The sheer brilliance of these platforms allows for the developers to boost productivity by offering re-usable, modular components or application building blocks without the need to start from scratch every time. As a professional developer, you can therefore seamlessly extend the capabilities and complexities of the no-code/low-code developed applications. It is also important to note that low-code and no-code platforms are an extension of the existing toolchain, not a replacement.
Low-code - A Technology Enabler
There aren’t enough software developers today to meet the incessant demand for code — and it is only going to get worse.
Low-code has enabled a culture of consistent learning among workers and students alike by condensing the conventional digital timelines. Apps that take weeks, or even months to build through traditional development methods, can now be built in a few days with fewer resources. The flexibility of low-coding becomes a constructive and vital asset for companies during a time when the global environment is in constant flux.
Enter Devum
Reactore’s inception into the digitisation arena in 2013 revolutionized the Mining Industry by introducing much-needed solutions for that sector. Fast-forward to the present day and Reactore has once again set the bar with Its latest groundbreaking platform - DEVUMTM.
Devum is an all-in-one, comprehensive low-code platform to build, test and deploy enterprise-grade software solutions. The platform empowers Citizen Developers the means to conceive and develop complex business workflows and supplementary service tasks of their own, all with minimal coding. There is also DevL, our simplified Pseudocode language for building domain services rapidly and using them for your apps.
Build Anything, Everything
The beauty of low-code is to have the ability and the tools to build and design any application with ease and convenience. Gone are the days when enterprises used multiple platforms to develop and maintain multiple applications. We live in a brave new world and the future is now!
