The document discusses Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS), a low-code platform for visual Javascript development on Oracle Cloud. It addresses whether VBCS is suitable for complex back-office applications, how it compares to traditional development platforms like APEX and ADF, and its benefits including improved developer productivity and runtime performance compared to building complex UIs without a visual tool. Concerns raised by ThoughtWorks about low-code approaches ignoring the need for skilled development practices are also presented.

Low-code platforms use graphical user interfaces and configuration in order to
create applications. Unfortunately, low-code environments are promoted with the
idea that this means you no longer need skilled development teams. Such
suggestions ignore the fact that writing code is just a small part of what needs to
happen to create high-quality software—practices such as source control, testing
and careful design of solutions are just as important.“
