The rise of Low code platforms has brought with it several misconceptions. Let’s debunk these myths and understand the true potential of Low code technology for developers in businesses.
1. Capability to build complex applications
Contrary to the myth that low code platforms can't handle robust and complex applications, these platforms offer a powerful alternative to traditional development. Low code is an efficient coding abstraction, maintaining complexity and robustness while reducing manual coding efforts by up to 90%. Enterprise-grade low code platforms have proven their ability to deliver high-quality applications.
2. Low Code as a Developer's ally
Many developers fear that Low code platforms aim to replace them. Low code is a tool that enhances a developer’s productivity and creativity. These platforms allow developers to focus on the added value of their work, providing flexibility with the option to integrate custom code. Thus, Low code platforms should be considered an ally, not a replacement.
3. Seamless integration with existing systems
Another common misconception is that low code applications can't integrate with existing systems.
On the contrary, low code platforms are equipped with a wide range of connectors for both technical and functional connectivity. This capability empowers businesses to innovate without the integration headaches, ensuring new applications work harmoniously with existing systems.
4. Learning curve and accessibility
The belief that low code platforms require extensive training is misleading. Most people can grasp the basics of these platforms within a few days, thanks to using familiar frameworks like Angular for front-end development. This approach reduces the learning curve and makes the transition to low code development more intuitive.

Low code platforms are revolutionizing the way developers approach application creation. By dispelling these myths, we can appreciate low code as a powerful tool in the digital transformation journey, opening up opportunities for a broader range of businesses.
