Thomas Villaren, Staff Engineer at PayFit, was recently a guest on French podcast "If This Then Dev" (IFTTD), hosted by Bruno Soulez.

This podcast discusses trends & specific topics in the universe of Technology & Innovation.

In this episode, Thomas & Bruno exchange on the technical & organizational challenges around building a low-code platform.

Amongst other topics, they talk about:

• The difference between low-code/no-code platforms and the no-code tools.
• The software engineering approaches taken when building such platforms (Model-Driven Engineering).
• The tradeoffs and choices to be made when building a generic platform or a more business-specific one.
• The role of Product Builders, in the application development process, and their collaboration with the platforms developers.
