Disclaimer
This talk is my personal view on Low-code / No-code platforms, it is
impossible to be fully objective and know about all nuances about
all platforms available on the market.
I hope that this talk will give you overview and my insights of my
experience with these platforms, but later you should do your own
research

Benefits of using No-code / Low-code
●Time To Launch
●Simple applications are cheaper to develop
●Rapid Prototyping
●No need to know programming language and have tech
background
●Focus on “what to build” instead of “how to build”
No-code / Low-code Downsides
●You still need IT team. No code developers are hard to find in
Latvia
●Hard to collaborate and track changes in big projects
●Every platform have different naming, modules, logics, working
principle, bugs. You need some time to learn new platform
●Migration to other platform is almost impossible
●Intellectual property issues - platform has your data and knows
how your project is made. Does your no-code combination
belong to you?
●Changes in pricing can break your business model
Big players

Algorithm - platform search
○Search for vertical CMS/CRM or prebuilt system that can
solve your problem
●first priority
○If you found No-code / Low-code platform that has template /
demo / tutorials similar to your problem
●second priority
○No-code / Low-code platforms crafted for your industry
●third priority
○Other No-code / Low-code platforms without any focus
* Vertical CMS/CRM - specifically crafted to cater to the unique needs of a particular industry
Algorithm - next steps
●Check needed features - if platform does not have feature that
you need it will be hard to add it to your project there
●View platform reviews (G2, Product Hunt, Quora)
●Review platform community / forums / learning materials / blog
- works better and faster than contacting support
●Check platform pricing
●Register and play for 1-2 hours
●Check other platforms
●Build MVP
Near Future
●Open Source and self-hosted platforms
○Pluggable and extensible architecture
○Big component / prebuilt template library
●Standardisation of platforms
●Hybrid programming - integrate or export to code your
no-code/low-code module in traditional software development
●Low-code will switch to visual coding languages like Scratch or
provide interfaces to do data transformations
