What is low-code?
Low-code is an approach to development that requires minimal custom coding. It uses a modular framework and pre-built components to create applications, rather than writing code from scratch.
What is the difference between low-code and no-code?
The main difference is the level of human intervention. Low-code allows developers to add custom code and modify built-in code, while no-code relies solely on pre-built configurations without the ability to add custom code.
What can you build with low-code?
Low-code platforms can be used to build a wide variety of web and mobile applications, from simple tools to sophisticated enterprise apps. With Slingr, you can also build on-premises deployments that run on your business’ machines.
What are the benefits of low-code?
Key benefits include faster development, lower costs, easier long-term support, and a robust integration ecosystem that makes it easy to work with 3rd party tools.
What industries can benefit from low-code?

How can I know if low-code is right for my business?
Low-code is context agnostic, but some businesses may not benefit from using low-code. Low-code may not be ideal for businesses that need close control over their cloud provider, low-level code, or other infrastructural details that are typically handled by the low-code vendor. The majority of businesses do not need such a deep level of control.
Is low-code expensive?
