So first of all we need to know about “Low-code” i.e. Low-
code development platform.
A low-code development platform (LCDP) provides a
development environment used to create application
software through a graphical user interface instead of
traditional hand-coded computer programming.
A low-coded platform may produce entirely operational
applications or require additional coding for specific
situations. It enables accelerated delivery of business
applications.
