DeveloperWeek 2023

Savinay Berry, Executive Vice President, Product and Engineering, Vonage

In today’s fast paced, digital world, time is of the essence. Developers are facing increasing pressure to implement new communications features, but limited team resources (and individual developer time) can make it difficult to implement these changes as quickly as leaders would like. In fact, industry analyst firm IDC expects a global shortage of full-time developers by 4 million in 2025. Low code/no code APIs, though, offer a valuable tool for limited developer teams across skill sets to speed up their innovation process and implement communications features at a faster pace. With low code/no code solutions, a junior product manager can build a basic prototype, freeing up more senior engineers to focus on customized, higher code solutions. Low code/no code tools are not just for early-stage or beginner developers though, but also enable sophisticated, senior developers to save valuable time and effort. In this session, Savinay Berry, EVP of Product and Engineering, will discuss the value of low code/no code APIs for developer teams to save time and rapidly iterate on their innovations.

Attendees will walk away with the following insights:
- As a company or developer, time is the one thing you can never get back, so it’s important to utilize tools that help build products quickly and avoid boilerplate.
- Early high code development forces companies to make complex and concrete decisions that are difficult to change as opposed to low code/no code which allows teams to quickly implement basic features and redesign as needed.
- Low code/no code tools give developer teams the flexibility to develop, test and innovate quickly, while still being able to transition to more complex, high code solutions following a proof of concept.
