Transition from Low-Code to Custom Applications Increases Tech Debt Risk
Work·Software Engineering, Business Strategy
Transitioning from low-code platforms to custom-built applications can increase tech debt risk due to lack of mature software processes. This includes challenges in spotting tech debt, unmanaged architecture, reliance on team practices, and systemic risks affecting business-critical systems. The absence of dedicated DevOps and QA pipelines exacerbates these risks, making it crucial for companies to adopt software product discipline.
Adopting software product discipline is crucial to manage tech debt and ensure system stability during such transitions.
Companies often lack dedicated DevOps, engineering management, architecture review, and QA pipelines when moving from low-code to custom applications.
