It slows down development and makes code harder to maintain. With a low code platform, you can reduce technical debt and build higher quality applications faster. 

What Causes Technical Debt?

Some common causes of technical debt include:

- Tight deadlines leading to quick fix solutions

- Lack of documentation and modular design

- Monolithic architecture that is hard to change

- Outdated technologies and frameworks

- Low test coverage and rigidity to change

- Knowledge silos and poor communication 

Over time, these factors compound and make software hard to work with. Even minor changes end up taking too much time and effort.

How Jump Cube Platform Reduces Technical Debt

Low code platforms provide tools and capabilities that directly address technical debt accumulation:

- Visual development enforces modular design

- Pre-built components reduce reinventing the wheel 

- Declarative techniques require less code

- Automated testing coverage identies issues early

- Cloud based deployment enables frequent updates

- Integration capabilities connect modern services

- Code generation optimizes performance and quality

- Collaborative workflows improve knowledge sharing

With Jump Cube Platform, apps are designed and built from the ground up for maintainability and scalability. The visual abstractions enable developers to focus on solving business problems rather than writing code. Apps can easily be kept up to date with the latest technologies through the platform vendor.

Realizing the Benefits

Organizations using low code have seen significant reductions in technical debt. Benefits include:

- Faster feature development and release cycles

- Easier maintenance with fewer defects

- Lower cost to operate and extend apps

- Reduced legacy app modernization costs

- Future proof architecture with flexibility to scale

- Productivity gains across dev teams

The bottom line is that low code development leads to technically excellent applications that meet business needs. By preventing debt accumulation, organizations can innovate faster and save costs over the long term.
