Technology trends

Every organization has now adopted repetitive digital practices because customization and cost-effective solutions are the highest priority for all organizations. Innovations in monitoring, analyzing, and adapting easily for any user and customer from any part of the world are something software development technologies have been taking forward for many years now. Long-term disruptive transformations have become top priorities to cater to the need for innovative solutions. Product development needs to focus on building value, affordability, operational efficiency, a secure ecosystem that enables remote working, and long term sustainability for businesses. 5 key technology trends for every software developer to take a look into:

Containerization

Containerization is the route to ensure data security and privacy, even when accessed on private devices. To be precise, containerization technology is all about allowing business and personal applications and data to safely stay insulated, on a single device. Containerization enables several applications to be ‘written once and run anywhere’ which in turn, secures quicker development processes, restrain cloud vendor lock-in, and helps in fault isolation, ease of management, simplified security, and more.

Cloud Computing and security 

Cloud computing, to be precise, is the delivery of computing services (such as servers, networking, databases, analytics, intelligence, and storage) over the cloud (internet) to provide flexible resources, economies of scale, and faster innovation. Cloud computing helps in reducing operating costs, running infrastructure more effectively, etc. As a result, the adoption of Cloud computing technology has enabled companies to achieve smooth business operations beyond geographical limitations.

DevOps

DevOps is a term coined from the combination of development and operations and caters to create an environment where the entire software development cycle is supported well. It represents the combination of the IT operations and product with application development efforts, in a way where there is a complete alignment of software expectations with the stakeholders, and the end product smoothly meets client requirements. It offers efficiency, speed, optimization of resources, and customization, in a safe environment that can be easily modified.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are the two of the fastest evolving technology trends that have found worldwide application, in a short while. Today, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are applied in sectors like healthcare, BFSI, and Fintech, Personal entertainment, manufacturing, and logistics as well as in-home and lifestyle mechanization via virtual assistance and IoT devices. With such a vast scale of application, the future of software development is almost incomplete without the application of these technologies.

Cyber Security

When it comes to digital transformations, data and information security become the most crucial aspect across business processes. With the increase in the number of data breaches, malware, and ransomware, the digital ecosystem, with e-commerce, fintech, health tech, and almost every business operation across sectors, is endangered without a strong cybersecurity system. 

Digital disruptions have become the rule, in this age of the global pandemic. Therefore, innovations that carry the ability to solve the evolving challenges, and create impactful results, are becoming the need of the hour.
