Giffy is a RAD framework that allows applications to develop rapidly without worrying about database, server, infrastructure, and high-level coding.The Applications are developed with ease and in a short period of time. 

This major advantage makes Giffy handy in developing applications without hiring any developer.

Why Choose Giffy?

Giffy possesses important aspects, making it an ideal model for developing applications for businesses.

• Scalability

Giffy is scalable- The application provides scalability to the user when necessary. Have you ever experienced site-crashing due to traffic? This is where scalable applications come to play. When there is a surge of user counts, Google assigns multiple servers or infrastructures to the application in a distributed form to retain its quality of service. It uses PaaS or (platform-as-a-service) which is a cloud computing platform that provides companies with the frameworks they need to develop applications.

Putting it in a layman’s language gives a user a place to work on one's skills without having to worry about hiring developers to code.

• Low Code  

Giffy uses Low-Code (LC) to develop applications. Low-code(LC) applications can be used as per specific business needs, which are implemented quickly, and cost significantly less than systems developed in-house. These applications target development to users rather than professional system developers. Users can usually design and implement their individual systems in a few hours using point-and-click or pull-down menu interfaces. A search interface is included in the software. Instead of a full-fledged code, Giffy uses dynacodes for the specific functionality of applications. Thus, Giffy is significantly simple to develop applications for business purposes. This saves both time and money on hiring developers.

• Uses Google Cloud Datastore

Giffy uses Datastore, which is a highly scalable NoSQL database. Datastore takes care of sharding and replication, resulting in a highly available and durable database that scales to meet the demands of your applications. In simple terms, this database is highly long-lasting, tough, and can perform heavy-duty.
