> If you would evaluate a low-code backend builder, how would you do it?

Firstly I would check if it’s open source. There’s a reason companies & individuals use open source programming languages… because it’s way less risky. The same is true for a low-code language/system.

Can I version it in git? Can it be reliably tested? Can I self-host it?

As far as functionality of the low-code: is it expressive? Can I make loops, variables, conditions? Can I bundle things into reusable Lego blocks? Can I use libraries or make fetch requests? Can I add environment variables? Can I add authentication, users, permissions?

There’s a lot to evaluate with a new system, low-code or not
