FAQ

Low-Code literally means "few code".

Low-Code technologies allow to develop Web and Mobile applications with few lines of code thanks to a visual modeling.

Thus, the Low-Code approach allows developers to realize 80% of an application without a single line of code and to concentrate the coding effort on the remaining 20%, ensuring a significant time saving in the technical execution of digital projects.

According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), by 2024, nearly 500 million applications will need to be developed worldwide - that's as many as in the last 40 years.

This is mainly due the exponential growth of the Cloud and the vital need for companies to digitalize and reinvent their businesses. No-Code and Low-Code approaches tend to become indispensable to meet this strong future demand and growing need for flexibility.

Low-Code technologies meet the needs of companies for speed, flexibility and scalability in the development of their customer and internal business applications.

The ratio is generally as follows: 4 weeks of Low-Code development compared to 4 months of traditional programming.

Startups, SMEs and large companies may need to go through Low-Code development, whether it is to :

- speed up and iterate the launch of an innovative product ;
- digitize an existing process ;
- change the technical stack.

Low-Code / No-Code technologies accelerate application development by 5 times.

They allow organizations to meet the growing demand of different business needs, increase the ability to innovate and adapt quickly to uncertain situations.

They greatly facilitate the creation and deployment of a large-scale application portfolio and are compatible with all media and technologies.

Low-Code and No-Code technologies share many common advantages: they allow to create, deploy and modify applications in record time. While No-Code platforms are adequate for simple process automation and digitalization applications, they are not yet adapted to projects requiring complex integrations with the company's information systems.

As for Low-Code platforms, the most advanced ones such as Bubble bring today mature and robust solutions to respond to any type of project up to complex core-business projects requiring complex integrations or massive data processing.

Many No-Code and Low-Code tools exist. In this nebula of platforms, it is important to find the right tool for your needs.

However, there will always be a need for developers with advanced programming frameworks for complex projects.

So there is a certain complementarity between No-Code and traditional code.
