The custom application development process is often either performed by in-house developers or outsourced to a third-party, using the same processes and methodologies applied to ready-made applications, but with a much narrower focus. That said, the rise of low-code development platforms has enabled citizen developers to create these kinds of apps by themselves instead of building the program from scratch through coding. As such, low-code development platforms reduce the reliance on dedicated developers, cutting production time and costs, while also boosting the efficiency of developers when using them.
