automation

What is Low-Code?

Platforms that simplify software development by providing visual tools and pre-built components, requiring only minimal custom coding.

In plain English

Low-code sits between no-code (zero programming) and traditional development. These platforms give technically inclined users a faster way to build complex applications without starting from scratch. For SMBs, low-code tools like n8n or Retool let someone with basic technical knowledge build custom automations and internal tools that go beyond what drag-and-drop no-code platforms support. It's especially useful for edge cases and custom business logic.
