What is low-code?

With low-code, software is built mostly with visual editors and ready-made blocks, and code is written only where the blocks run out. Microsoft Power Apps, OutSystems and Mendix are examples of low-code platforms.

Also called: low-code platform

Why it matters

Low-code can get your internal tool or automation running in days and lets non-developers on your team change it. The limits arrive later: licence fees per user, performance, and logic that only works inside one vendor’s platform. Decide up front which parts may outgrow it.

1Low-code vs no-codeNo-code tools need no programming at all; low-code expects a developer for the parts that are not standard.
2Good fitInternal tools, forms, approvals and automations between systems you already use.
3Watch the lock-inYour app and data live on the vendor’s platform, so check export options and per-user licences first.
ExampleA property management company in Astana needs a form for residents’ repair requests that sends each job to the right contractor. A low-code platform builds it quickly, and the operations team edits the routing rules itself. When residents later want an app with their repair history, that part is built as custom software.
