Low-Code

Low-code describes platforms that combine visual building with optional code, so builders can add scripts or custom logic where the visual tools fall short.

In plain language

Most of the workflow is drag-and-drop, with small bits of code for formatting, API calls, or complex rules.

Example

A Make scenario uses visual modules for most steps and a short code step to reshape an API response.

Common misconception

Low-code is not only for developers; non-developers can build most of it, with code reserved for the parts that need it.

Implementation guidance

Keep code steps small and commented, store shared logic in one place, test code with real payloads, and record who maintains it.
