What is no-code development?

No-code development refers to a method of building digital applications and processes without needing any traditional coding or programming skills. It utilizes visual development environments and interfaces where users can create software using drag-and-drop components, templates, and logic builders. The idea behind no-code platforms is to democratize application development, allowing people without a technical background—often referred to as “citizen developers”—to construct applications, automate workflows, or develop websites quickly and with minimal technical know-how.

This approach to development not only accelerates the production of applications but also significantly reduces the cost and complexity associated with traditional software development. By allowing non-developers to contribute to the creation and deployment of applications, organizations can reduce their reliance on highly skilled developers for every project, streamline their operations, and respond more swiftly to market or operational needs.
