Motivation

No-code rules. It’s trending topic right now.

Now that everyone has gotten used to creating their own self-service dashboards with data from the warehouse/datalake, the evolution of self-services appears: no-code apps.

With a no-code platform, any product or marketing manager can create an app without ask to the developers or IT teams.

Agility is the key. If you have a clear picture of what you need you can deliver it in a matter of hours. Brilliant right?

For the old school guys, it remembers the days when Visual Basic appeared but online and with much less code.

The steps are more or less the same for each app:

1º) Create your app UI dragging and dropping widgets into a canvas.

2º) Connect to your data sources: databases, files, online services, REST APIs, …

3º) Binding the data to the widget and… et voilá! You can share your app with your colleagues.

The common features for any no-code/low-code platform are:

  • Web based. Accessible for any modern browser.
