Is there an open source Low-Code system that works?
Where I work we currently have 2 low code tools for automating internal business processes.
Now a new executive has appeared and his answer to two of these systems is to get a third. This time it will be MS PowerApps.
It seems that Low-Code is all high cost. The costs for licencing these platforms is 1-2 developers per year for our organisation of roughly 800 people.
No doubt making applications on the web that work with SAML integration is harder than it could be, but the low-code tools lack of versioning and the ability to do automated testing is poor. Especially given the licencing costs.
Even a good web based GUI for drawing UI's would be useful. But cost really is a factor.
Visual Basic was a low code tool that did enable non-coders to create applications that were useful. It appears that the current crop of low-code tools are not near VB's ease of use or utility.
you should try windmill.dev, semi-technical folks can use the webeditor and the built-in versioning while more senior folks can keep their IDE and version directly from github/gitlab.
Budibase is pretty good and helps you build simple web based solutions that can integrate with a wide range of data sources. Definitely worth checking out.
