Time for Scaling Your Low-code Software!

At the beginning of the creation of your software, you probably thought about having features and performance that would solve an immediate problem for your user, without necessarily thinking about the possibility of scaling it. 

Scaling an application is all about adjusting capacity to meet your demands. This process involves quite an amount of time and elements of the software and infrastructure to be able have the capacity to handle a larger number of users.

Inescapably, the time comes when the solution originally built with a low-code platform will need to evolve or take a totally different direction that this one will no longer be able to support. The most common and accurate time for scalability is when performance degrades, especially as more users start to use it.

The premise of scalability  revolves around the ability to deploy applications with speed which brings to the table the possibility of updating features faster and performing firmly, and that could translate into lower platform costs.  


Benefits of Scaling your Software?

  • Efficiency – The rapid iteration and testing process when scaling maximizes the use of developer time.

  • Non-disruptive – Small changes can create minimal disruption for users allowing them perceive improvements without a high negative impact
