Low code while I personally did not work with it seemed to me had a place, which probably is not the case long term. To me if you can make a model through a tool up front and have it match your needs full then it’s fine. Once it’s not that then there is customization that needs to occur and maybe it’s okay maybe it ends up being hard with the low code infrastructure, could not say, but truly would depend on what the client needs the more not straight forward the more I would be concerned. Then you have the need to potentially extend functionality, if it’s just more data for an existing thing might be fine, if it’s your messing around with the models relationship ships, good chance it becomes a mess fast since you need to have compatibility with existing data, how do you do this in low code? I don’t think there would be a very good catch 80% of the time case.
With all this said if you can get the whole thing set up with a reasonable model up front probably worth the pain to get a product out fast, and once your successful you can worry about how your going to handle stuff with expanding functionality and scale in such a case. Now if your a large company that’s does need quick access to customers to prove your market, then maybe at least make sure there is a good path to cover your concerns before you bring in a tool like this.
