FAQ

No-code development is an approach to creating software applications that do not require extensive coding knowledge or writing traditional programming code – cutting costs and saving time. Instead, it relies on visual interfaces, drag-and-drop tools, and pre-built components to design, build, and deploy applications.

Governments can benefit from building their own software with no-code platforms instead of purchasing legacy systems due to several reasons. Firstly, no-code development empowers governments to have full control and customization over their software, tailoring it precisely to their unique needs and workflows. It allows for rapid development and iteration, enabling quick adaptations to evolving requirements and reducing reliance on external vendors. Ultimately, governments can achieve cost-efficiency, customization, and increased agility by leveraging no-code tools to build their own software solutions.

The main difference between no-code and low-code development is the level of technical expertise required. No-code development platforms allow users to create applications without any coding knowledge or experience, relying on visual interfaces and pre-built components. On the other hand, low-code development platforms require some level of coding or scripting, providing a higher degree of flexibility and customization for developers with moderate technical skills. While both approaches aim to simplify application development, no-code caters to non-technical users, while low-code targets developers with some coding proficiency.
