AWS re:Invent 2022 - Future-proofing your business with codeless architecture (PRT029)

Summary

Christian Lewis from Uncork and Filarin from Goldman Sachs' digital strategy team presented on Uncork's codeless architecture platform.
Uncork is a no-code platform designed for heavily regulated industries like banking, healthcare, and the public sector.
The platform is secure, compliant with various standards (SOC 2 Type II, Privacy Shield, HIPAA, FedRAMP moderate), and allows for drag-and-drop application development without writing code.
Benefits of using Uncork include lower maintenance costs, backward compatibility, fewer bugs, and faster development times.
Filarin shared a use case from Goldman Sachs where they built a governance platform for software spend with just two people, highlighting the ease of use and speed of development.
The platform supports complex use cases and integrates with existing CI/CD pipelines and internal APIs.
Future plans include onboarding more developers to Uncork, creating reusable modules for different departments, and leveraging the platform for both internal and external applications.

The codeless architecture of Uncork bridges the gap between business and engineering teams, allowing for better collaboration and understanding of application development.
The platform's drag-and-drop interface and pre-built components reduce the need for specialized development skills, enabling smaller teams to build and maintain applications.
Uncork's compliance with strict security standards makes it suitable for industries where data protection and privacy are paramount.
The platform's backward compatibility ensures that applications remain functional and up-to-date with the latest features without additional development work.
Goldman Sachs' use case demonstrates the platform's potential to significantly reduce development time and costs, even for complex, regulated environments.
The focus on reusability and modularity suggests a trend towards more efficient development practices, where components can be shared and customized across different teams and projects.
The integration capabilities of Uncork indicate a flexible approach to fitting into existing technology ecosystems, which is crucial for large organizations with established processes and tools.
