Abstract: Introduction: Enterprise application development has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, driven by the need for scalable and flexible solutions. This evolution favored the adoption of microservice architectures, which, while offering benefits such as resilience and modular scalability, also introduced technical complexities in integration and maintenance. Against this backdrop, low-code tools emerged in response to the demand for more accessible and faster-to-implement solutions.Development: The study addressed the technical fundamentals of microservice architectures, characterized by their ability to divide applications into independent services. However, these architectures posed challenges in terms of interoperability, the use of multiple languages, and increased testing and deployment efforts. Various commercial and academic platforms proposed low-code-based solutions aimed at simplifying microservice design through visual interfaces and reusable components. The technological proposal of the work integrated modern tools such as Java, Spring, Docker, and Kubernetes, along with visual development approaches, with the aim of facilitating the creation of efficient distributed systems.Conclusions: The research concluded that low-code tools offered an effective way to mitigate the complexity inherent in microservices. These solutions reduced the technical burden without compromising software quality, promoting more inclusive and sustainable development environments. Likewise, the comparative analysis of platforms highlighted the need to continue refining these tools to achieve greater flexibility and standardization.
