Define the requirements and roadmap of new business technologies and solutions early on with low-code. Strategically plan and iterate sprints in a clear and governed platform to enable business technologists to collaborate with IT departments throughout the software development lifecycle.
Low-Code Benefits for Enterprise Architects
Create scalable enterprise software
Connect with existing business data models
Fully integrate with third-party cloud solutions
We offer the possibility of going the full no-code route by using pre-built templates and configuring where necessary or importing data models. Low-code offers the perfect solution to customize any no-code application with custom requirements. This gives IT departments the freedom and flexibility to augment, extend, and scale internal business solutions. Low-code customization capabilities also make sure that solutions developed in this way fit enterprise criteria and can be made to fit the existing business IT infrastructure. On top of that, being able to respond to market changes, user requirements, or company policies keeps the business agile and competitive.
Depending on the size of the project, bringing a low-code platform into the developer sphere can be a huge asset in optimizing the existing enterprise architecture software. The visual page builder offers the same integrity as traditional coding while emphasizing speed, making it perfect for quickly drawing up prototypes before development even starts. Once a specific block, function, or step has been built, tested, and validated, it can be accessed through the organization’s Block Store, where it can be reused for future projects. Not only does this significantly cut back on development time, but it also reduces the cost of the development process by being able to create enterprise-grade blocks.
The Betty Blocks platform allows developers to carry out their work in sandboxes for every phase of DTAP. To ensure that building, testing, and validating can be done without affecting any live data, a sandbox environment for each of the four different stages can be set up independently. Version control is an extra safety measure that allows developers to roll back any changes to a previous stage. The sandbox options in the Betty Blocks platform aim to make the Software Development Life Cycle as streamlined and error-free as possible in order to push new solutions to production faster compared to traditional development. For an extra layer of security and peace of mind, the Betty Blocks platform offers on-premises hosting besides the standard cloud hosting options.
Betty Blocks offers a full range of front-end and back-end development suites with ISO 27001 security and third-party API integration. The low-code capabilities ensure that any tools or data sets can be linked to ensure that the application fits into the organization’s existing IT infrastructure.
Thanks to the incremental workflow and visual IDE that is used to build applications in Betty Blocks, the creation of software aligns with the Agile framework. Version control allows developers to reiterate any changes as needed, allowing developers to deliver results in governed sprints.
The pre-built templates and components that can be found in the platform have been designed to keep scalability in mind and come with full documentation for developer references. Betty Blocks also offers a secure and reliable testing environment to support the CI/CD pipeline.
When it comes to having citizen developers built in a low-code environment, enterprise architects want to ensure that they are running a tight ship. Governance tools are essential to protect the software development process from turning into shadow IT. By setting permissions and roles, admins can keep a strategic overview of which blocks can be edited by which person, creating accountability throughout the entire workflow.
The platform offers different application types and states, which can be set according to the project's scope and desired end result. Here, admins can create a governed building environment, putting risk management at the forefront. Within the platform, there are options to create apps meant for testing, training, or full-fledged production for end users. A Private Data Mode feature makes sure that runtime pages and APIs are only visible to users with the right permissions.
