The role low code app development tools may play at GitLab

The concept of the citizen developer is becoming increasingly vital as companies face a global shortage of software developers amid the growing dominance of software in various industries. Citizen developers, empowered by low-code and no-code tools, can create applications with minimal or no formal coding skills, which has led to a significant rise in their use, as reported by IDC. GitLab is actively exploring the integration of low-code functionalities to democratize programming, with CEO Sid Sijbrandij and senior product marketing manager Parker Ennis discussing the potential of these tools to lower the barrier to entry for coding and inspire future generations. Parker highlights the importance of engaging young people in programming through low-code solutions to address the projected demand for 100 million developers in the coming decade and emphasizes how these tools can facilitate early interest in coding by making it less intimidating. As GitLab considers incorporating low-code tools into its workflow, the company remains open to further advancements, particularly with the emergence of viable open-source low-code options.
