Google has created a designer soft-type low-code that allows you to create business applications without programming experience. The designer is available to subscribers of the corporate package G Suite.

The application designer

Google has finished creating your designer business App Maker and made it available for all developers who wish to use it. The company said on its website. Prior to that, the designer worked only in the private preview mode.

App Maker, announced a year and a half ago, is an online tool to quickly create and deploy web business applications. To use it, the developer should have a subscription to the cloud service package Suite G-class “Business”, “Enterprise” or “Education”.

The purpose of a constructor is to enable any of these users, including those without programming experience to create own application for the needs of the business based on data that is already stored in the package G Suite, database, Google Cloud SQL or any other database that supports JDBC, the connection with databases in the Java language, or as an architectural solution to REST API.

Applications

According to statistics cited by Google, properly matched to the needs of employees with a mobile app can save each of them up to 7.5 hours a week. However, the business usually do not invest in the development of such applications, as the entire it budget is spent on, such as CRM, ERP and SCM. App Maker should solve the issue.

In testing for a few months with it is to create applications for various business needs such partners as game developer Electronic Arts, a manufacturer of hygiene products Colgate-Palmolive, a provider of cloud solutions, SADA Systems and others.

In particular, for Electronic Arts, which often have to transfer employees from one project to another, the application was built to manage human resources to track such movements.

How it works

App Maker provides the user with a low-code environment, that is, allows you to create an application using a graphical user interface and configuration, rather than using standard programming procedures. In this case, the main part is the database connection according to the resource TechCrunch, and then the actual creation of the app is relatively easy, by an ordinary drag-and-drop elements on the screen. Due to the presence of a number of templates, the final product can run on desktops and on mobile devices.

In addition to the databases that are the basis of most applications from the App Maker access to Gmail, Google Calendar, Sheets, and other data sources. In total, the designer offers 40 Google services. In contrast to these low-code platforms like Mendix, or K2 Microsoft PowerApps, App Maker focuses primarily on its own service Google and does not offer built-in connectivity to third-party services like Salesforce. However, there is a chance that now, after the App Maker from the test, Google will extend its functionality, writes TechCrunch.

In the case of App Maker admins G Suite at the enterprises will be able to see which applications are started in the organizations, and to obtain data about their owners, custom metrics, and authorization Protocol OAuth, which allows limited third-party access to data without providing them with a username and password. Advanced control, “white sheet” OAuth allows the administrator to prevent the application to run without his approval.
