What does it take to scale low-code from zero to 170+ apps in a Tier 1 bank?

In this episode of the Drag & Drop podcast, Mark Bus, Lead Product Owner for Rapid Application Development at ABN Amro, shares the bank’s decade-long journey scaling Mendix.

With 25+ years at ABN Amro and deep roots in lean, agile, and platform engineering, Mark breaks down how to embed a low-code platform in a highly regulated, risk-averse environment.

He explains how ABN Amro balances innovation with governance using reusable enterprise components, centralized CI/CD, and a federated platform model, now recognized as a best practice. Mark also challenges common misconceptions about low-code’s scalability, ease of use, and developer readiness.

Whether you're building your first MVP or managing a portfolio of enterprise apps, this episode is packed with strategy, lessons learned, and practical guidance from one of the most mature Mendix implementations in European banking.
