Low-Code Development

Elevating the Engineering Experience With No and Low Code

Low code, no code, citizen development, AI automation, scalability — if you work in the tech world, it's likely that you have been encouraged to use tools in at least one of these spaces. And it's for a good reason as Gartner has projected that by 2025, 70% of applications developed within organizations will have been built using low- and/or no-code technologies. So does the practice live up to the hype? 

Year over year, the answer is a resounding "yes" as the industry continues to evolve. Organizations have an increased demand for more frequent application releases and updates, and with that comes the need for increased efficiencies. And this is where low-code and no-code development practices shine. Sprinkle AI automation into low- and no-code development, and the scalability opportunities are endless. 

This Trend Report covers the evolving landscape of low- and no-code development by providing a technical exploration of integration techniques into current development processes, the role AI plays in relation to low- and no-code development, governance, intelligent automated testing, and adoption challenges. In addition to findings from our original research, technical experts from the DZone Community contributed articles addressing important topics in the low code space, including scalability, citizen development, process automation, and much more. To ensure that you, the developer, can focus on higher priorities, this Trend Report aims to provide all the tools needed to successfully leverage low code in your tech stack.
