Abstract

Low-code and no-code platforms are revolutionizing software development by enabling users with little to no coding skills to create applications quickly through visual interfaces and pre-built components. This has accelerated digital transformation, especially during the pandemic, allowing organizations to build and automate solutions rapidly. However, the ease of use brings challenges like security, scalability, and governance. As the industry addresses these issues, these platforms will continue to empower a broader range of users, shaping the future of software development.
