4 Strong Reasons Why Modern Engineering Teams Need Low Code  


Author: Yogesh Sharma, (Principal Architect), Xoriant

Anticipating customers’ needs and being ready for new trends is essential for a rapidly changing market. A quick and effective solution is the need of the hour and engineering teams are inclined towards using one such solution, called Low-Code Development.

 

Several reports claim that over 60% of businesses across the globe utilize only 50% of their tech solution. In such a scenario, low-code development has emerged as the future of web development. 

 

Gartner's reports suggest that more than 65% of application development will happen using the low-code development platform by the end of 2024. 

 

Let us try to understand why modern engineering teams including software developers prefer using low-code development by talking about a few key features and its benefits. 

 

Features of Low-Code Development

 

  1. Out-of-the-box (OOTB) Functionality:

The built-in modules offered by the low-code development platforms such as data management to data storage are effectively used by the expert developers for SaaS-based applications, eventually allowing them to save time.

  1. Reusability:

Code reusability makes life easier for modern developers. Low-code development offers pre-configured modules that are widely used in almost all SaaS-based products. The developers can utilize the reusability feature that reduces the time taken to launch the product in the market. 

  1. Visual Development:

To help developers quickly create new application features, the low-code development provides visual modeling and drag-and-drop features which speed up the entire development process.  

  1. Scalability:

For SaaS-based applications, scalability is of utmost importance. Low-code development offers PaaS solutions that can be utilized by the developers, to scale their applications in the cloud.

All the above features make low-code development a hot property for product developers. 

 

 

Benefits of Low-Code Development

Let us list down a few benefits of low-code development for SaaS developers.

 

1.      Faster App Development:

Expert developers can use the built-in modules and other such features to deliver the product to the market in a quick time. 

  1. Fewer Bugs:

With modern engineering teams using low-code development, the coding time is decreased and because of that the number of bugs produced is lesser, eventually helping in faster development.

  1. Simpler Deployments:

The deployment on multiple platforms and environments is easier with low-code development platform.

  1. Easy Scalability:

Scalability is easier when developers use low-code development.

There are numerous SaaS-based products built using low-code development.

 

ERP applications developed using MS D365, Salesforce, CloudIO, and WordPress are a few of the top names that offer low-code tools for users to build websites and SaaS applications without having to rely on hiring expert developers or programmers.

 

Low-code development also supports IoT developers who have to integrate multiple systems and endpoints within their projects. Third-party integration is also possible on the low-code development for weather conditions and real-time traffic. 

 

So, the crux of everything is, that low-code development is here to stay with a huge number of SaaS firms choosing the approach. While faster development has been the biggest advantage, cross-platform compatibility and easier maintenance have turned out to be other major benefits.

 

At Xoriant, we believe that low-code development has a key role to play in the future of SaaS-based application development. As a technology leader, Xoriant has worked with startups and Fortune 100 companies across industry domains like healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications, and automotive.

  Business operation today are largely being carried out through hybrid or remote work models. Though this situation might change soon, it is hard to predict exactly when it will completely come to an end. As a result, the number and complexity of cyber-attacks are increasing. Some, like the Nvidia employee credentials leak, the cyberattack on the Costa Rican Government and the Bernalillo Country, New Mexico came into the limelight in 2022. According a 2022 IBM Report , the surveyed businesses lost $4.35 million per incident to data breaches. Ransomware has wreaked havoc on several enterprises and continues to be a potent business threat for many. Cybercrime might cost global enterprises $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. (Source: IDC) The cybersecurity landscape is constantly getting remolded to accommodate the new remote work model.

  Blockchain has witnessed an exponential growth in its adoption and application, with blockchain’s worldwide market size slated to reach $67.4 billion till the year 2026 and a CAGR of about 68.4% between 2021 and 2026. From robust customer identification to transparency across various sectors, including healthcare, blockchain is bound to reshape multiple industries and sectors. Organizations are recognizing their ability to boost business with blockchain. According to PwC, blockchain could expand the U.S. economy by an estimated $407 billion till 2030.                     Though it was blockchain’s emphasis on risk-free transactions that brought attention to it, security also emerges as a primary concern now that organizations are beginning to understand the technology.   For instance, in March 2022, gaming-based Ronin Network suffered a financial setback of $600 million in USD and ether (ETH) when a hacker attacked Axie Infinity’s bridge chain. The primary cause of the cryptocurrency
