No-code development platforms are tools that enable businesses to develop software quickly and easily without having to write code. The platforms provide what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) editors and drag-and-drop components to quickly assemble and design applications.
Developers and non-developers alike can use these tools to practice rapid application development with customized workflows and functionality. The benefits of no-code development platforms are numerous. They allow businesses to create software without having to hire developers, which can be expensive. They also enable businesses to quickly prototype and test new applications, which can help them determine if an idea is worth pursuing further.
From a survey taken by 1,000 workers across various industries, job levels, and company sizes, comprehensive data was gathered on the understanding, usage, and growth of no-code.
No one knows for sure where the future of no-code technology will take us, but we can make some guesses. We believe that the continued growth in no-code creators, community and content won't stop any time soon. The average person is continuing to amass more technical knowledge, and we believe the lines between what's considered "no-code" and "low-code" will continue to blur.
In the business world, Gartner predicts that more than half of medium to large enterprises will have adopted low-code application platforms by 2023. The COVID crisis is also accelerating no-code adoption. A KPMG survey found that since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, the number of executives naming low-code development as a top priority has quadrupled.
So what does this all mean for no-code technology? We believe that no-code will continue to become more and more popular as it becomes easier and easier to use.
