Low-code platforms have a bad reputation among developers—and honestly, they deserve it.

Most of them promise speed and simplicity but end up delivering frustration and limitations. If you’ve ever tried to use a traditional low-code tool for anything beyond a basic app, you know what happens next:

🚧 Rigid templates that don’t adapt to real-world needs.

🚧 Limited integrations that force ugly workarounds.

🚧 No room for real coding, so you’re stuck hacking together solutions.

🚧 Scaling? Forget about it.

The problem? Most low-code platforms were never built for developers. They were designed for business users who want to build quick apps without writing code. And while that’s great for simple projects, it falls apart the second complexity enters the equation.

At Lonti, we’re doing things differently. We built a low-code platform that developers actually want to use.

Low Code, No Limits

Low code shouldn’t mean no power. It should speed up development without taking away control. That’s why we created a platform that lets you:

✅ Build APIs in minutes, not hours.

✅ Automate workflows with full flexibility.

✅ Integrate with anything—legacy systems, SaaS tools, databases, you name it.

✅ Write code when you need to, skip boilerplate when you don’t.

This isn’t a drag-and-drop toy. This is real low-code development, built for real developers.

Martini: APIs Without the Pain

APIs are the backbone of modern applications, but traditional API development can be painfully slow.

With Martini, you can:

  • Auto-generate REST & GraphQL APIs from existing data models.
  • Connect anything with prebuilt and custom integrations.
  • Write custom business logic using Java, JavaScript, or Groovy.
  • Enforce authentication and security without manually handling tokens.

A dev team used Martini to integrate disconnected enterprise systems—cutting their API dev time from months to weeks.

Bellini: Frontend That Actually Works with APIs

Most low-code frontend builders lock you into rigid components that don’t adapt to real needs. Bellini flips the script.

  • Drag-and-drop UI components that consume real-time API data.
  • Full JavaScript support for custom functionality.
  • Seamless integration with APIs, no ugly workarounds needed.

A fintech company built a custom reporting dashboard in Bellini, pulling analytics from multiple APIs. Time to launch? Weeks instead of months.

Why Developers Are Making the Switch

Most low-code platforms hit a wall. Ours doesn’t.

  • No vendor lock-in. APIs, custom scripts, and open standards give you full control.
  • No rigid templates. Define workflows and data models your way.
  • No artificial limits. Scale effortlessly, whether you’re handling 10 or 10 million users.

This isn’t just a faster way to build. It’s a better way to develop.

If you’ve ever felt like traditional low-code platforms were holding you back, it’s time for something different.

This is low code for developers. And that makes all the difference.
