Traditional software development relies on intensive coding knowledge that only developers possess, for other business professionals, developing an application is like deciphering the Da Vinci Code. But is it possible to avoid depending on developers? Yes, there’s a no-code application.

Low-code and No-code development platforms rule the coding industry. According to Gartner, the worldwide low-code or no-code development technologies market will grow by 23 per cent in 2021 and reach $13.8 billion.

No-code ensures equal access to all users enabling independent creative enthusiasts, such as artists and entrepreneurs, to build things they could only have imagined in the past. As the name suggests, no-code application development is a method of creating apps without writing codes, majorly with drag and drop features. No-code platforms enable developers to drag-and-drop pre-configured blocks to build enterprise-grade applications.
