The article discusses the transformative role of low-code platforms in engineering teams facing challenges with traditional development methods. It highlights how internal tools, essential yet resource-intensive, can lead to bottlenecks due to legacy systems and developer capacity issues. Insights from industry leaders at PhonePe, Yubi, and DronaHQ illustrate how low-code adoption enables teams to streamline updates, reduce manual work, and enhance scalability. This shift empowers developers to focus on innovative solutions rather than legacy configurations, proving crucial for operational excellence in tech-driven environments.
For any engineering team, dealing with legacy code and configurations can easily be a recurring theme. Shikhar Kapoor, Software Architect at PhonePe, described how a compliance-driven audit forced the team to update legacy consoles across the organization, "Low code is not just about speed; it is about letting developers move forward without being tied to the past. A developer should not be dragged back into legacy work. They should be solving new problems, not reconfiguring old ones."
By centralizing updates through low code, PhonePe has avoided the time drain of manually updating multiple consoles, directly impacting the developers' productivity.
Low-code platforms are transforming internal tools, enabling faster development and reducing the maintenance burden while empowering junior developers to manage resources more effectively.
Dinesh Kailash Kumar, VP of engineering of Yubi, shared how building hardcoded solutions for every new customer became unsustainable, highlighting the importance of scalable and reconfigurable systems.
