The current IoT scenario is characterized majorly by interest in connected devices, sensors, objects, and applications. A system that is fully IoT would be complicated as it involves people of varied expertise and various responsibilities.

According to McKinsey’s Nov 2021 report “The Internet of Things: Catching up to an accelerating opportunity,” IoT can enable $5.5 trillion to $12.6 trillion in value globally by 2030.

So this generated the instant need for an application enablement platform that not only has less code associated especially after Covid but in some cases, companies are demanding a complete no-code platform to rapidly develop applications to meet their immediate business demands without waiting for a software developer to implement these apps for them.

Reasons for the increased popularity of Low-Code and No-Code Platforms

Almost all businesses were operating remotely during COVID-19 resulting in many companies adopting a low code or simply a no-code application platform to meet the immediate asks to run businesses.

Now in order to back this statement up, let’s look at some of the statistics.

• According to Gartner data released in February 2021, application enablement platforms with no-code or low code have seen a tremendous rise in popularity, in fact, the income from such platforms is expected to be 13.8 billion US dollars, an almost 23 percent increase just in the year 2020.

• Gartner in their predictions for 2024, said that 75% of big organizations will be investing and utilizing low code development platforms.

• As per the Redhat low-code and no-code platforms have the potential to bring down the app development by almost 90%

Now let’s understand how no-code or low-code platforms are transforming IoT application Deployments.

Most low code platforms were built or let’s say they exist because they are aimed at developers with a basic understanding of coding languages. With a low-code platform, applications could be developed without multiple iterations. With automated testing and feedback, a great deal of workload in removed.

New iot applications associating different devices could be built with simple clicks with many codes which in turn accelerates the growth of IoT device deployments.

This allows everyone to try their hands in the world of IoT and build applications for their devices and bring their thoughts to life without being constrained by intimidating codes.

With such low-code or no-code platforms, one can easily bridge the wide gap between the developer and a non-developer, it is in fact, allowing everyone to build an application that meets their business needs.
