Niaga AWANI: The revolution of low-code, no-code platforms
In this era of rapid technological evolution, the rise of Low-Code and No-Code platforms is reshaping how applications are developed, fostering a paradigm shift in the tech landscape. By 2024, 65 percent of app activity will be developed through low-code/no-code.
