Why we picked it This is a plain-language breakdown of what no-code is genuinely good for and the specific points where it stops being enough. It names the real triggers to move to code (a complex core algorithm, very large data volumes, or needing to own your codebase), which is exactly the trap you are worried about. It leans a little pro no-code, so read it as a starting point and treat the migration triggers as the honest part to remember.

- No-code is best for validating an idea fast and cheaply; that is a feature, not a lesser path.
- Watch for three migration triggers: a technically complex core, data scale limits, and wanting full ownership of your code.
- A hybrid path (no-code UI, custom code for the hard parts) is often the sensible next step, not a full rebuild.
