    Building an Enterprise App Factory with Mendix | Jason Miles on Scaling Low-Code and AI

    🚨 Everyone’s building apps. Few are building an app factory. Without governance and shared patterns, low-code scales chaos—not capability. In this Drag & Drop episode, Jason Miles, former Mendix Platform Lead at PwC, shares how he built a Mendix Center of Excellence and Community of Practice that turned app delivery from ad-hoc projects into a repeatable, secure, enterprise-grade capability. We unpack how he scaled Mendix across business units, balanced speed with compliance, and proved that low-code can power external, client-facing systems, not just internal apps. Key takeaways: 🔘 How to evolve from project delivery to a true app factory 🔘 Why COEs outperform “citizen developer” programs 🔘 Power Platform vs. Mendix: How to choose what fits 🔘 Why governance and reuse are speed multipliers 🔘 How AI and low-code together create scalable guardrails 🎧 Listen now to hear how Jason and his team turned governance into a growth engine, proving that with the right model, low-code doesn’t just build apps, it builds capability.

    AI Doesn’t Scale Without Guardrails | Maarten Nelissen on Low-Code + Governance

    Everyone’s racing to launch AI. Few know how to govern it. Without structure, guardrails, and the right platform strategy, AI doesn’t scale; it stalls. In this Drag & Drop episode, Maarten Nelissen, who leads Valcon’s 130-person low-code capability, shares how Valcon built a multi-platform practice spanning Mendix, Power Platform, Appian, Pega, and UiPath while maintaining consistent delivery through shared playbooks, app factories, and governance models. We explore how AI + low-code together create the governance enterprises need to move from cool POCs to production impact. Key takeaways:  🔘 Why AI needs low-code guardrails to scale safely  🔘 Why “best-fit” beats single-vendor loyalty  🔘 How AI + low-code shortens the path from pilots to production  🔘 Why Mendix hits the enterprise sweet spot  🔘 How T-shaped talent drives cross-platform growth And much more…. 👉🏾 If you’re leading transformation (and wrestling with AI + platform sprawl), this conversation is a playbook for choosing wisely, governing well, and scaling fast without locking yourself into the wrong stack.

    Mendix Capture the Flag: Why AI Makes App Security Non-Negotiable

    Capture the Flag isn’t just a challenge; it’s a security wake-up call. Low-code lets you build fast, but without the right mindset, you can just as quickly create an unsafe app. That’s why Mendix Capture the Flag (CTF) has evolved into a global security movement with over 700 participants, satellite locations worldwide, and hands-on challenges that force every developer to think like a hacker before the hackers think of you. In my first-ever group episode of the Drag & Drop Podcast, I was joined by Jan de Vries, Community Manager at Mendix, René van Hofwegen from Low-Code Academy, Mitchel Mol, CTO of Blue Green Solutions, and Dirk van Veen, Founder of The S-Unit. Together, we explored why CTF is more than a competition; it’s how the Mendix ecosystem is building a security-first culture in the AI era. Key takeaways: 🔘 Platform security vs. app security and why developers must own the second  🔘 How learning to hack makes you a stronger builder 🔘 Insider tips for winning more flags 🔘 Why even junior devs can (and should) join CTF 🔘 How satellite locations strengthen global collaboration 🔘 Why AI makes security awareness non-negotiable and much more.... 👉🏾Whether you’re a Mendix beginner or an enterprise leader, this conversation shows why security is everyone’s responsibility and why events like CTF accelerate both learning and community.
