We’ve seen a lot of ups and downs in 2020, with telecommuting and home isolation taking a toll on us.
But in digital conversion and software, 2020 promises to be a big year.
Affected by the epidemic, many enterprises have been forced to develop online businesses in various forms, and the importance of software development services for enterprise development has reached an unprecedented height. Therefore, we need to keep an eye on current trends in the industry.
Here are some key trends in software development in 2021:
1. Serverless architecture
Serverless computing combines stateless functions as a service (FAAS, such as AWS Lambda) with stateful storage back-end as a service (BAAS, such as AWS S3).
“By our definition, serverless services scale automatically without explicit configuration and can be charged based on usage.” — Berkeley (view on serverless computing)
- In serverless computing, cloud services are fully hosted. You can write code to build applications without having to manage or maintain infrastructure such as servers.
- Serverless computing supports pay-as-you-go billing, allowing users to pay according to the amount of resources consumed. Serverless computing helps reduce costs by allowing users to choose how to charge on a case-by-case basis compared to traditional computing platforms.
- Serverless computing is application-oriented, as opposed to resource-oriented computing platforms such as virtual machines and containers.
2. Multi-platform framework
Multiplatform development means that the same set of code can run on different platforms. Multiplatform is becoming more common as it becomes easier to reuse code and other fruits of your labor. The JetBrains team does this well with the Kotlin language.
Today, the back end of an application can use Kotlin/JVM and the front end can use Kotlin/JS. This pattern has a number of advantages: in addition to the syntactic advantages, the front and back ends can share libraries and programming paradigms (using coroutines, for example). By running Kotlin across the development stack, we can write classes and functions that can be used in both the JVM and JS. Not only that, but you can also use KMM (Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile) to create Mobile apps that run on both iOS and Android!
In practice, you can create fully functional applications using just one programming language.
Low code/no code techniques
Enterprises can take advantage of low code development to quickly build and deploy software applications without the support of professional programmers. Users of low-code or no-code platforms don’t have to write every line of code; they can build projects by clicking on the interface. This way, businesses can create websites with off-the-shelf components, set up data exchanges with CRM solutions, add online payments with Stripe, and even collect customer feedback through Google Forms or other providers.
Gartner predicts that in the next two years, more than half of medium and large enterprises will adopt low-code application platforms.
Tools such as the Salesforce Flow Builder help users create end-to-end digital workflows. The tool also automates workflows. Both components and services of the tool can be selected and reused by users. The company also has a large community of app builders who support it.
Native apps
Given the cross-platform buzz and the rise of Flutter, it seems that the dominance of native apps is in jeopardy. However, if you want to provide a better user experience and more powerful performance, you have to rely on native. As a result, more and more companies are investing heavily in building multiple native apps for iOS and Android, all to provide a better user experience. Looking ahead, software developers will see software development services dominated by native application development.
That being said, I’m pretty optimistic about Flutter’s prospects. It has been a great success. Even if you’re an experienced native app developer, there’s no harm in giving Flutter a try.
With the iOS and Android operating systems increasingly dominant in the market, investment in app development is unlikely to diminish anytime soon.
5. AI and ML
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have been in the spotlight for a long time, and this momentum is set to continue due to the expansion of application innovation. Frankly, the potential of AI and machine learning is unmatched right now. We’re just beginning to explore both. We can expect to see the convenience of driverless taxis in the future. During the outbreak, we used drones to monitor people’s social distance.
Klarna, Europe’s largest start-up, uses AI and ML to provide customers with a personalized checkout experience. Artificial intelligence tools and platforms are ready to help companies keep up with what their customers are doing.
“The latest AI research shows that 86 percent of companies currently use AI to improve the customer experience, and 25 percent will increase revenue by 2021 due to widespread adoption of AI. “The outbreak highlights the value of AI, and AI itself is working to improve performance on related tasks such as workforce planning, simulation modeling and demand forecasting.” Rohan Amin, chief information officer, Chase Bank
The ability to add state-of-the-art AI technology will be a key development this year for organizations, especially those looking to make big strides in their industry.
