MENDIX No Code & Low Code:
Alternative Solutions Suitable for Your Needs
What is low-code?
Low-code is an application development method that elevates coding from textual to visual. Rather than a technical coding environment, low-code operates in a model-driven, drag-and-drop interface. All development skill levels — professional developers, novice developers, subject matter experts, business stakeholders, and decision makers — can use low-code to build value-driven enterprise business applications.
Low-code features and benefits
Low-code application development platforms (LCAPs) abstract and automate every step of the application lifecycle.
Development is more accessible to users without technical expertise, with features that accelerate the development process.
1. Visual Modeling
Drag-and-drop functionality and an intuitive visual UI make it possible for professional developers to increase their productivity and for citizen developers to build all types of apps. Model-driven development lets you visualize how the app works as it’s being built with the ability to launch with one-click deployment.
Benefits
-
Utilize existing talent to build and deliver apps faster
-
Empower departments outside of IT to participate in development
-
Develop a variety of solutions without incurring heavy costs
-
Better collaboration and decision making among cross-functional teams
-
Free up specialized developers to work on bigger, more complex tasks
2. Reusable Components
Build cross-platform apps with pre-configured modules, logic, templates, connectors, and more. Components of a low-code app can be customized and extended by skilled developers.
Benefits
-
Fast-track development with greater efficiency
-
Rely on reusable elements that are pre-tested for performance and security
-
Build apps with greater consistency and scalability
-
Extend app features quickly as needed
3. Collaboration Tools
Develop collaboratively with built-in tools for feedback loops, revision tracking, user stories, messaging, and more. The visual nature of low-code keeps everyone speaking the same development language.
Benefits
-
Breakdown silos to foster a stronger business-IT partnership
-
Promote better organizational communication
-
Streamline development and reduce rework
4. Scalable Environments
Deploy new apps and augment existing apps quickly as customer demands and business needs change. A cloud-based low-code platform provides flexibility, support for continuous delivery, and run-time and dev-time scalability on demand.
Benefits

Build maintainable solutions that are easy to scale on cloud-native architecture
-
Facilitate immediate changes when necessary
-
Deliver continuous improvements to end-users with engaging web, mobile, conversational, or immersive experiences
-
Keep your organization agile in the face of disruption
5. Data Integration
Securely integrate data and logic from any source, system, or service — including your core legacy systems. Build apps using pre-configured APIs and connectors, or empower your skilled developers to build a custom integration
Benefits
-
Reclaim more than 30% of your developers’ time
-
Build and manage systems at a larger scale
-
Effortlessly discover and share data across projects and teams
-
Create reusable components and microservices faster with seamless access to enterprise data
6. Application Lifecycle Management
Low-code supports all phases of the app development lifecycle with tools to streamline project management, requirements management, version control, testing, deployment, and more. Holistic low-code platforms incorporate Agile development practices and DevOps tools.
Benefits
-
Seamlessly move apps through each lifecycle phase: Ideation, development, testing, deployment, and operations
-
Accelerate all phases for faster delivery utilizing automation and abstraction
-
Enable your teams to work iteratively and autonomously
