I got into a discussion within the team - is Outsystems better or traditional coding when dealing with complex project and 4-5 teams each having 10 members . What do you guys think? My teammates says the traditional approach is better which I don’t agree but I wanted to know from everyone else.
So many people so many opinions...
The independent consultant answer is "it depends..."
Hi @Deepika Bhandari
Both approaches have their strength and weakness and it's completely depend on your specific project needs and development team skill-set.
Low-code platform is for rapid development of core functionalities where as traditional coding is for high customization and integration with external systems.
Ultimately, best approach depends on details analysis of specific project needs and team capabilities.

Hi Deepika,
As per me Reactive is much flexible because where logic can render on client side also we do asynchronously data fetching and in traditional web explicit server side rendering.
you can see the difference over traditional and reactive web developer

Hi @Deepika Bhandari,
Both OutSystems and traditional development approaches have their pros and cons. It's essential to compare these based on your project needs to determine which one suits your project better.
On another note, OutSystems is known for its rapid development pace and ease of learning. With OutSystems, there's no need to worry about cloud infrastructure management. Additionally, it offers many built-in and reusable Forge components, and it supports mobile application development.
Here's a list of additional benefits of OutSystems you might consider:

Hi @Deepika Bhandari,Complexity per se is not a reason to choose for one or the other. In my experience you can develop complex applications with OutSystems very well with less people than you need developing the same project in 'highcode' (Java in my case). If you make sure you're setting up a good architecture, it's no problem to work with multiple teams. But as others state, 'it depends'. There are pro's and cons for both approaches. Goodluck!
