A development approach that lets people build applications mainly through visual interfaces and drag-and-drop components with little hand-written code.
Low-code platforms provide ready-made building blocks, such as forms, tables, workflows, and connectors to common services, that users assemble visually. Developers can add custom code where needed, while no-code tools aim to remove coding entirely for non-technical users.
Organizations use low-code to build internal tools, approval workflows, dashboards, and simple customer apps faster than traditional development. It can reduce pressure on IT teams and empower business staff, sometimes called citizen developers, to automate their own processes. Limitations include vendor lock-in, difficulty handling complex logic or heavy traffic, and governance risks if many unmanaged apps spring up. Many platforms now add AI features that generate app components from plain-language descriptions.
