5 Key Considerations When Selecting A Low-Code Platform

by LANSA Editors | Apr 29, 2021 | Low-Code | 0 comments

Today’s developers need to support an incredibly diverse range of technologies. These technologies include everything from the cloud and mobile devices, to security and performance. When you throw in multiple user interfaces, databases, servers, and more, that jack-of-all-trades expectation becomes increasingly unmanageable. As a result, development times have grown excessively, and application backlog extends weekly. Furthermore, most legacy systems are too rigid to adapt to modern technology. One solution that IT executives are now evaluating are low-code platforms as a new approach to application development.

5 Key Considerations When Selecting a Low-Code Platform

Application Framework – The best low-code development platforms will help you quickly prototype, design, and deploy web and mobile applications.
Integration – The ability of any low-code platform to integrate with anything and everything is critical to its success, regardless of whether the objects are in the cloud, on-premises, or on a local device, server, or workstation.
Unlimited Depth and Reach – The best low-code platforms never require developers to leave the low-code environment when building, maintaining, and extending applications.
Business Rules Engine –As part of their solution, high-end low-code platforms include a Business Rules Engine, which allows you to define a rule once and know it will be enforced everywhere.
True Cross-Platform Support – A low-code platform should provide a variety of deployment options as well as a migration path that allows applications to be easily ported to a different technology stack.
