Low-Code and No-Code: Where They Help and Where They Don't

🎯 What Are They?

Low-code: visual tools with some coding. No-code: build apps without writing code.

✅ Where They Help

1. Prototyping

Quick prototypes and MVPs. Faster than coding from scratch.

2. Simple Apps

CRUD apps, forms, dashboards. If it's straightforward, no-code works.

3. Non-Developers

Business users building their own tools. Empowers people who can't code.

4. Internal Tools

Admin panels, reporting tools, simple workflows. Perfect for internal use.

⚠️ Where They Don't

1. Complex Logic

Complex business logic, algorithms, integrations. You need real code.

2. Performance

High-performance apps, real-time systems. No-code tools aren't optimized.

3. Custom Requirements

Unique features, specific workflows. No-code tools are limited.

4. Scale

High traffic, complex data. No-code tools don't scale well.

💡 My Approach

Use no-code for:

• Prototypes
• Simple internal tools
• Quick MVPs

Use code for:

• Production apps
• Complex logic
• Performance-critical systems

💭 My Take

No-code tools are useful, but they're not replacements for code. Use them where they fit, code where they don't.

The best approach is knowing when to use each.
