Low code approach for business analytics

Abstract

Low-code is an approach to programming that seeks to enable the creation of artefacts by both programmers and non-programmers. It enables the rapid creation and delivery of applications with minimal effort to write in a programming language as well as for installation and configuration of environments, training and deployment. This allows the development to follow the needs of a company in a faster and more efficient way.

Thus, a web platform was created that allows the user to customize a dashboard composed mainly of graphs and widgets, in order to make the most of the data. However, beyond this specific application, the platform can be applied to any other area with minimal effort from the developers.

The platform was developed using the technologies that are most suitable for the development of web applications. Thus we have the back-end that was developed using the Node.js platform, which uses one of the fastest growing languages in web development, JavaScript. For the interface was used the framework also in JavaScript, Vue.js. As for data storage, the non-relational data model was used and for its management and observation, the MongoDB software was used.
