Análise comparativa entre low-code, no-code e full-code

Abstract

Interest in more accessible software development tools has grown significantly over the past decade, especially among users without advanced technical knowledge. In this context, low-code and no-code platforms have gained prominence in corporate environments by enabling the creation of applications in a visual and intuitive way, without the need for traditional programming. This study analyzes the advantages and limitations of these approaches in comparison to full-code development, focusing on scalability, resource consumption, and development efficiency. To this end, equivalent applications were developed using each methodology. The analysis aims to highlight the key differences in resource usage between the approaches. The results indicate that while low-code and no-code solutions accelerate initial development, they present limitations in terms of customization and scalability, reinforcing the importance of selecting the approach based on the project's specific requirements.
