Discover the fastest way to build custom applications.
Traditional application development requires highly skilled software engineers, lengthy development cycles, application and database hosting, and a team to keep everything operational and up to date. As security threats emerge and technologies evolve, systems must be continuously reviewed, updated and fixed.
In contrast, a low-code platform like Caspio provides everything needed to create powerful business applications quickly and cost-effectively. Infrastructure for both databases and applications is built-in, development is done through intuitive visual interfaces, and security and compliance, including HIPAA, are turnkey. Scaling is flexible and on-demand, allowing businesses to start small and grow as needed.
Low-code platforms simplify application development, enabling not only skilled developers, but also business professionals to build applications and automate workflows. Time-to-market is significantly reduced, helping organizations respond quickly to new opportunities. Today, low code is a game changer and a key differentiator that sets agile, high-performing companies apart from those still relying on traditional development methods.
Traditional development involves writing code line by line, debugging, deploying to production and managing operations. This process often requires significant time and technical expertise. Low-code platforms, on the other hand, provide intuitive visual interfaces that simplify most development tasks. Applications are built using step-by-step processes or drag-and-drop components, making both development and modifications much faster and easier.
Testing is simpler because you only need to verify your own processes, since the platform is already stable and supports thousands of applications. Aside from app development, a low-code platform like Caspio offers built-in user identity management, workflow automation, native integrations with many popular services and much more.
One of the key advantages of a platform like Caspio is its comprehensive enterprise-grade security and compliance. Out of the box, Caspio delivers robust security features such as single sign-on (SSO), governance controls, role-based permissions, audit-trails, data encryption and more. On the compliance side, Caspio supports major regulatory standards including SOC 2 Type II for system security and data controls, HIPAA for healthcare, FERPA for education, PCI DSS for payment information and WCAG for accessibility. The platform also provides the necessary features that support compliance across other highly regulated industries.
Achieving this level of security and compliance alone is a monumental task for internal teams and independent software developers. With Caspio, these capabilities are built in — saving time, reducing risk and helping teams stay focused on delivering business value.
In addition, Caspio offers data center options across multiple global regions, supporting data residency requirements based on organizational or regional policies.
Low code proves its value when it can support real, mission-critical business applications. Let’s explore the essential requirements of a critical business application and how a platform like Caspio meets each one:
Ensures the application remains reliably accessible with minimal downtime. Caspio runs on global AWS data centers with built-in redundancy and failover systems to keep applications available around the clock. It is backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA, supporting business continuity at scale.
Guarantees that data is accurate, consistent and reliable throughout its lifecycle. Caspio enforces validation rules, referential integrity and workflows that minimize user error. Built-in logic, table relationships and constraints help maintain clean, consistent and trustworthy data across applications.
Protects sensitive information and controls who can view or modify it. Caspio provides enterprise-grade security features including encryption, role-based access, SSO and IP filtering. It complies with standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and FERPA to meet rigorous security requirements.
Enables the application to handle increasing workloads or users without degradation. Caspio’s cloud-native architecture, built on Microsoft SQL Server and operated on AWS, scales seamlessly to support everything from small teams to large enterprise deployments. You build once and grow without re-architecting your application.
Ensures data and functionality can be restored in the event of failure or loss. Caspio automatically takes database snapshots every few minutes and performs daily backups stored in secure, geographically distributed data centers. Point-in-time data recovery is available when needed.
Provides tracking and reporting needed for legal or regulatory adherence. Caspio includes audit logs, user activity tracking and exportable data trails to support compliance audits. The platform is certified and compliant with major data regulations, giving you peace of mind.
Controls who can log in to your apps, what they can see and what they can do. Caspio offers robust user identity management, granular permissions and directory integration via SAML. You can configure user roles and rules down to the field and record level.
Facilitates easy updates, enhancements and ongoing support. Caspio’s platform is continuously updated with new features, giving your applications expanded functionalities over time. Applications can be maintained and improved through intuitive visual interfaces without coding.
Delivers up-to-date information for immediate action. Caspio workflows can trigger actions as soon as data changes, such as sending emails, updating records or calling APIs. With live data views and dashboards, users always access the latest information.
Delivers expert assistance, training and resources to ensure long-term success. Caspio offers 24/7 technical assistance onboarding guidance and Customer Success services. For more complex needs, Caspio’s Professional Services team works closely with you to design, build and optimize applications tailored to your exact requirements. A global network of certified partners is also available to assist with development and specialized solutions across industries.
Ensures applications work seamlessly across various devices and platforms. Caspio apps are responsive by default, working across smartphones, tablets and desktops without additional coding. They can also be embedded into environments like Sharepoint and Content Management Systems (CMS), or deployed as standalone web apps.
Connects with other systems to ensure smooth workflows and enable data sharing. Caspio supports REST APIs, webhooks integration platforms, and native extensions, allowing you to connect Caspio apps with third-party systems effortlessly.
