For this research, we wanted to do a deep dive into how engineers around the globe are <a href=\"https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/generator\">starting web apps<\/a>, how popular the use of low-code platforms and what tools are decisive in <a href=\"https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/services\/web-development\">creating web applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, we conducted a survey with 191 software engineers of all experience around the globe. We asked questions around the technology they use to start web applications.<br><br>Highlights of the key findings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The usage of particular technologies in the creation of web apps is closely related to engineers&#8217; experience.<\/strong> New technologies, such as no-code\/low-code solutions, GraphQL, and non-relational databases, appeal to developers with less expertise; <\/li><li><strong>Engineers with less experience are more likely to learn from online sources<\/strong>, whereas developers with more expertise in <a href='https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/services\/web-development'>software development<\/a> prefer to learn from more conventional sources such as books;<\/li><li><strong>Retool and Bubble are the most popular no-code\/low-code platforms<\/strong>;<\/li><li><strong>React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Amazon AWS, and Bootstrap are the most popular <a href='https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/services\/web-development'>web application development<\/a> stacks<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To read the full report, including additional insights, and full research methodology,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/starting-web-app-in-2022-research\"><strong>visit this page<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Flatlogic you can create full-stack web applications literally in minutes.
