First, what is low-code? Low-code is a visual approach to software development that enables you to abstract and automate every step of the application lifecycle. Gartner predicts that “by 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity.”

The Mendix platform was created to promote collaboration between Business & IT teams so that an entire organization can participate in the application development process.
