As your team grows and your application scales, it becomes harder to debug, update, and expand. This can be a demotivating and difficult problem to solve. There are two basic types of technical debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first type of technical debt is intentional. It is caused by a choice of coding platform or management decision. The second type of technical debt is unintentional. This occurs when your design is outdated or a new feature is added without considering the scalability of the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your software does not perform well, it creates a disconnect between your line of business and your IT department. You can&#8217;t afford to let this happen. You need to set up a plan to tackle your technical debt. The first step is to define technical debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step is to identify what type of debt your team has. Whether your team is using low code or traditional methods, you need to determine whether the technical debt is intentional or unintentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intentional debt can be short-term or long-term. It can be caused by poor technology decisions or by lack of collaboration. Your team may not realize this until later, when it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also choose to prioritize speed over quality. This may seem like a good idea at the time, but it can create hidden costs. Oftentimes, your engineers are forced to sacrifice quality to meet deadlines. This can create more bugs and increase the time it takes to implement new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third step is to determine how much time you will spend on tech debt. Your product team needs to agree on what technical debt is, and who will lead the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Top Challenges With Low-Code Development | low-code | No-code | - Algoworks\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h50Gai5zj3U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business_logic_capture\"><\/span>Business logic capture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being around for a while, low code technologies have yet to live up to their promises. Low code platforms claim to enable developers to create 80% of a new application within 20% of the time that it would take to build it from scratch. Yet, in practice, these technologies do little more than automate repetitive coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While low code can be a powerful tool, it does not come without its drawbacks. The most glaring drawback is that it lacks a full stack of coding features that would allow developers to leverage it to its fullest. Some low-code vendors recommend that developers use full stack coding to make the most of their platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to tackle these challenges is to augment your low-code platform with features that allow you to build a scalable stack of microservices that can be used to automate processes and create new applications in the process. For example, you can use the low-code platform to develop a custom business application, and then use microservices to integrate that application with other applications within your organization. Using microservices makes your application more flexible and easy to maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While low-code can help you make your mark in the business world, the reality is that low-code solutions are still in their infancy. As a result, your company may be experiencing some of the usual issues associated with a new software product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of these issues is that you may be experiencing long onboarding cycles and other related operational challenges. Another issue is that your organization may be experiencing new customer onboarding challenges. These issues could be related to your product&#8217;s functionality and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Faster_rollouts\"><\/span>Faster rollouts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using low code applications can help agencies make more out of less. They can help them modernize their IT infrastructure, digitize their business processes, and achieve their mission critical goals in a cost-effective manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low code applications can be as simple as a mobile app, or they can be as complex as a cloud-based next-gen platform. These platforms are designed to deliver the best of both worlds. They allow for customization, extensibility, and speedy development. They also simplify workflow development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low code is a nifty new technology that offers a number of features and benefits. It can handle large amounts of data, connect to internal and external APIs, and integrate with other applications. It can even build systems with security guardrails. The name of the game is to find a platform that will work with your business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most notable benefit of low code applications is that they are designed to be easy to scale. That is, if your organization is growing, you can add new functionality to existing solutions. They can also help agencies achieve their ROI objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another notable feature of low code applications is the ability to build dashboards. These provide users with a glimpse into the organization&#8217;s processes and data. They are also a good way to boost user adoption. This is because they allow users to interact with data in a meaningful way. Using low code applications can help to make your IT department a lot less of a drag on the company&#8217;s bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same way that low code enables users to build something, it can also help to reduce the amount of time spent on mundane maintenance tasks. These tasks can be time-consuming and costly. By automating these processes, your IT department can focus on more meaningful tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design_limitations\"><\/span>Design limitations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the growing popularity of low code, there are some design limitations that can arise. These limitations can make low code tools problematic for IT professionals. While they may be overcome, software professionals should perform proper audits on low coders to ensure they are qualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common complaint about low code is poor performance. Low code applications perform noticeably worse than software that has been developed in a true programming language. Moreover, low code is often limited in its ability to support minor modifications. In such cases, major changes may need to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lack of programming language capabilities also limits what can be done with data. Low code can allow developers to build simpler applications more quickly, but it requires a greater degree of knowledge and training. Low code applications are typically created by dragging and dropping function blocks into flow diagrams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These applications are then applied by defining actions in tabular form. This method can be difficult to manage when a specification changes, as a low-code application may be forced to use a different application model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest complaints about low code platforms is the template-driven build process. Template-driven build processes remove the need to test the logic of new applications. This reduces the time it takes to develop new applications, while eliminating the need for program logic testing. Another challenge with low code platforms is the ability to customize user interfaces. If a client requires visual branding, creating user interfaces may be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low code can be a valuable tool for developers who have some HTML and CSS skills. It helps to reduce the trade-off between application complexity and speed of delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trios_expertise\"><\/span>Trio&#8217;s expertise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right low code development platform isn&#8217;t always easy, but there are a few key factors to consider. These factors include: what your business needs, your budget, and the availability of skilled developers in your area. You may also want to consider a development partner that is well versed in your industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a company that specializes in industrial machinery may be more adept at delivering solutions to your needs than one that works in a hospital setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a side note, Trios is a privately owned company based in Europe. This allows the company to focus its energy on delivering high quality solutions that are both scalable and cost-effective.
