GenAI

Low-code/no-code tools have revolutionized software development and data engineering by providing visual interfaces that empower non-technical users. However, their limitations in scalability, consistency, and integration pose significant challenges in modern, real-time architectures. Generative AI is emerging as a game-changer, offering unprecedented flexibility and customization, addressing many of the pitfalls of traditional low-code/no-code platforms. Simultaneously, the data ecosystem is evolving with Apache Kafka and Flink, enabling real-time, event-driven architectures that resolve inefficiencies of fragmented, batch-driven systems. This blog explores the evolution of low-code/no-code tools, their challenges, when (not) to use visual coding, and how generative AI and data streaming are reshaping the landscape.
