I run a nocode platform with some large and global applications made/run on our platform.
During architecting phase of the application - we do estimate if nocode tooling will hit a ceiling. If yes then we explore 4 options:
- no brainer, export code and take it from there
- write custom Ui controls and patch them into your nocode tool
- write custom function and patch in the workflow engine or front end logic
- build Ui/UX using external code and use nocode to build backend process and connect front end with apis of the workflows/dbs
- generally complex algorithms - eg route optimization, would become a candidate of converting into a web service and eventually consumed in the nocode tool.
In my experience - One of the core essentials to write an application on nocode is having your sprint 0 dedicated towards a design phase.
