Low-code or custom development?

What is the difference between custom development and low-code?

Custom development means that all functionalities need to be coded step by step. This often results in lengthy projects, high costs and complex maintenance. Mendix and low-code, on the other hand, offer a visual development environment where business consultants can build apps using model-driven workflows and reusable components. This accelerates development cycles and makes collaboration between business and IT much more effective.
