The facts

According to Gartner, 40% of Low-Code applications require adjustments through custom code to meet specific needs.

Companies that combine Low-Code with custom coding capabilities increase flexibility while reducing delivery time by an average of 25%.

When code becomes essential

Complex business logic

Low-Code platforms provide tools for simple workflows, but specific or advanced business logic often requires the integration of manual code (JavaScript, C#, etc.).

Integration of custom external services

While ready-made connectors simplify integration, certain APIs or proprietary internal systems may require custom scripts.

Advanced UI / UX

Standard visual components do not always cover specific design requirements.
Custom CSS and JavaScript are often used to create unique interfaces and complex interactions.

Performance optimization

Performance optimization—especially for heavy processing or real-time calculations—may require optimized code to better manage server resources or API calls.

Potential concrete outcome

Combining the speed of Low-Code with the power of custom code enables companies to deliver high-performance, tailored applications, while reducing development costs by an average of 30%.
