No code

Also known as: no-code, low-code

No code is a method of creating apps or automation simply by manipulating the screen without coding. Combined with AI, it is leading a development boom for non-developers.

No-code is a method of creating apps, websites, and task automation by dragging and dropping elements on the screen as if assembling blocks, without having to learn a programming language. It's like building a house with Lego blocks to create a finished product by connecting pre-made functional pieces.

With a shortage of developer manpower and a surge in demand for digital transformation, it has grown from the trend of allowing those in charge to create their own tools. Recently, the boom in production by non-developers is accelerating as the function of AI creating screens and logic upon verbal request is combined.

However, the idea that no-code will completely replace developers is close to a misunderstanding. Services with complex logic, large traffic, and detailed security needs still require traditional development.
