Best practices for low code development:

• Finalize the domain / entity model early
• Check the capabilities of platform before writing code for any feature
• Learn XPath
• Try to have daily builds, daily demos, daily development goals with short sprints – comes from agile world
• Learn to use the CI/CD and Code management tools of the platform
• Avoid deep linking URLs, avoid page URL altogether if possible
• Check security / roles / entity access settings regularly
• Integrate using in-built tools rather than custom code
• For features like audit, associations, validations try to work at the entity level to start with. Incase you are unable to manage them their then move to workflow level validations
• Understand the limitations of platform and then make appropriate suggestions
• Old components, modules, etc. building up in apps should be cleared regularly
• Check the app stores of the platform for modules that are already available before you build one
• Check added libraries regularly for unused or deprecated / insecure versions
• Scan uploaded files before using
• Try to use architecture / design principles like SOLID in terms of singular responsibility and so on
• Think of SSL, containerization, cloud, kubernetes, automation testing, logging, user interface & licensing in advance and not as a reaction later

Low code has arrived !!!
