Choosing the Right Low-Code Platform: Why We Work with Mendix

Digital transformation isn’t just a buzzword anymore – it’s a real challenge that every organization faces. From small startups to global enterprises, everyone is under pressure to deliver digital solutions faster and with fewer resources. But with the shortage of skilled developers, traditional software development often becomes a bottleneck.
That’s exactly where Mendix comes in – combining the speed and accessibility of low-code development with the robustness and flexibility of proven enterprise technologies.

Solving the Talent Crunch with Low-Code

Finding experienced software developers has never been harder. Companies are competing for the same limited pool of talent, and project timelines often stretch endlessly because teams can’t scale fast enough.
Mendix changes this equation by empowering both business experts and professional developers to collaborate in one unified environment. Business users can visually model processes, interfaces, and data flows without writing a single line of code, while developers can enhance these models with custom logic, APIs, and integrations when needed.
This shared platform breaks down the traditional wall between business and IT. Ideas move from whiteboard to working app in days instead of months, and teams can iterate directly with feedback from real users. The result: faster innovation, fewer bottlenecks, and more engagement from everyone involved.

Agile by Design – How Mendix and SCRUM Work Seamlessly Together

The power of Mendix truly unfolds when combined with agile methodologies like SCRUM. Mendix’s visual, modular development environment fits naturally into short, iterative sprints – allowing teams to plan, build, test, and deliver value in rapid cycles.
Because Mendix projects are built in small, incremental steps, everyone involved – from developers to business stakeholders – can see visible progress after each sprint. Features aren’t just discussed; they’re experienced. This makes feedback immediate, decisions faster, and alignment much easier.
The result is a development process where every role contributes directly to the final product. Business users can validate functionality early, developers can focus on delivering working features, and the entire team shares ownership of success. Mendix and SCRUM together make digital transformation not only faster, but also more transparent, collaborative, and motivating.

Why Mendix Stands Out

Not all low-code platforms are equal. Mendix combines the speed of low-code with the stability of proven enterprise technology – so you get the best of both worlds:

• Frontend (React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript):
  Mendix uses React, the same framework behind many of today’s most advanced web applications. Combined with HTML and CSS, this enables the development of responsive and modern user interfaces. The Atlas UI framework (built on Sass/CSS) simplifies consistent design and branding, while developers retain full flexibility to extend or customize the UI as needed.
• Logic (Java):
  The Mendix runtime is built on Java, providing a robust and proven foundation for backend logic. While almost all use cases can be handled entirely within the Mendix environment, developers always have the option to extend functionality with custom Java code when needed, ensuring full flexibility without limitations.
• Backend & Data (SQL):
  Mendix uses relational SQL databases by default. In the Mendix Public Cloud, PostgreSQL is used. In principle, any SQL database can be connected. If required, developers can also integrate non-SQL databases, providing full flexibility for specific project needs.

In short, Mendix offers speed without lock-in. You can start fast, scale confidently, and extend endlessly – all while staying on open, industry-proven technologies.
