Zapier on Steroids for programmers!

I like how Netlify went with a low-code approach that provides not only speed and flexibility, but also greatly helps with long-term maintenance. Web apps are now more connected and heterogenous than ever - there is a need to quickly and easily connect with various APIs. No-code falls short in providing performant and maintainable code bases. GraphQL-based tools could be the solution. Netlify seems to have taken the lead here. I only worry about potential vendor lock-in.

Congrats!

PM lead for the Ecosystem team @ Netlify. Thanks for the feedback! This is precisely the balance we are trying to strike - simple enough to solve core problems that are routine, and yet offering an exit hatch to go and code some additional stuff that you might need in your applications.
