Accelerating Blockchain Application Development: Integrating Blockchain as a Service Within Low-Code Platforms
摘要
The integration of Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) within the Low-Code Development Platforms (LCDPs) is expected to revolutionize the speed and accessibility of blockchain application development. This paper explores the synergy between BaaS and the low-code or no-code development environments in Platform as a Service (PaaS) frameworks, examining opportunities, challenges, and implications for developers and organizations. LCDPs have gained popularity for simplifying application creation, empowering a broad spectrum of developers from citizen developers to experienced professionals. Concurrently, blockchain technology offers enhanced security and transparency but traditionally requires specialized skills for implementation. By embedding BaaS capabilities within LCDPs, developers can leverage blockchain benefits without extensive expertise, streamlining development processes and accelerating time-to-market for blockchain applications. Additionally, it addresses challenges related to security, scalability, and the complexity of managing blockchain operations within simplified development environments. By presenting best practices and identifying opportunities, this paper aims to contribute to the advancement of accessible and efficient blockchain application development.
