Low-code is an application development approach in which the product is designed to be extended through a visual interface and simple scripts.
Unlike no-code, low-code includes a built-in scripting language, so users can configure more complex system logic or change the properties of deeply nested system components.
The main benefit of this approach is that more people can contribute to building an application. Put simply, a low-code platform vendor gives its customers a toolkit for designing and automating specific tasks and business processes without deep programming skills. As a result, costs go down: most changes to the system can be made much faster and cheaper, without bringing in outside developers.
