Development Technologies To Watch For In 2022

With the rollercoaster ride that was 2020 and 2021 finally over, people are hopeful that 2022 will be different in a good way. The last two years have been tough for humanity with the pandemic, political uncertainties, and whatnot. In these uncertain times, the tech industry grew, and tech-builders robustly provided people with the right tools to keep the economy booming. 2021 saw advances in various development technology fields such as PWAs (Progressive Web Apps), cloud computing, native app development, blockchain, AI, and more.

So without further ado, let’s dive into the list of development technologies to watch for in 2022!

Development Technologies To Watch For In 2022

According to the survey conducted by Statista, global spending on digital transformation is predicted to increase by 20% to $1.8 trillion in 2022 and will rise up to $2.8 trillion by 2025. The world is unpredictable, with the Covid-19 having shaken its foundation. The tech industry is one of the few industries that weren’t as affected by the pandemic as other sectors. IT firm’s started working remotely and the IT industry tried its best to be productive and innovative in trying times. 

Software Development Technologies

According to the statistics, the global market size will exceed $1493.07 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 11%. Though software development trends are constantly changing and evolving, these are the software development technologies we expect to dominate the world in 2022.

Blockchain

Blockchain technology improves the security and reliability of a product. It’s a distributed database that’s used to create a secure ledger of transactions. Blockchain is often used for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Some of the blockchain applications are Chainalyis, Circle Gemini, and Algorand.

• Chainalysis:  Builds tools to help financial institutions and governments monitor the exchange of cryptocurrencies.
• Circle: It is an investment and money transfer platform which features seven different cryptocurrencies.
• Gemini: Is a licensed digital asset exchange and custodian that allows secure buying, selling, and storing of digital assets.
• Algotand: Reduces gaps between traditional and decentralized finance, implementing next-generation products and protocols to make financial transactions more equitable for everyone.

DevOps

DevOps is a combination of different practices and tools that increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at a high speed. Using DevOps allows software companies to improve and update their products constantly and with vigor. DevOps will also allow software companies to run automated tests against the product and help improve its quality. With DevOps, you can also collect data to observe how users interact with your product and use it to upgrade your software. Docker, Kubernetes, and JIRA are some of the popular DevOps tools used in various companies.

Low-Code/No-Code Platforms

In 2022, Low-code and no-code platforms are gaining momentum in the software development industry, with more developers opting for it. Most of the low-code and no-code platforms are fairly affordable and are gaining a large user base because of it. These platforms usually encourage a target audience that strives to do all the coding and designing for their website by themselves, without hiring any outside help. Code Platforms allow developers to design software products without using any code. Instead, developers use a visual interface to drag and drop different options to create and complete their products. These tools give flexibility to software developers and allows them to customize the website as per the businesses needs. People using WordPress, Wix, Shopify, SquareSpace, Bubble, and AppSheet usually opt for low-code/no-code platforms. Check out our company’s portfolio to get a look at the work we have done on WordPress, Wix, and Shopify.

Python

The programming language that you can use in scripting, prototyping, data analysis, machine learning, and more. Python is a popular programming language that is easy to learn and has a large user base. According to Statista, 48.24% of developers are currently using python as their favored programming language. From beginners to experts, python has a huge community of its fans and contributors worldwide.

AI And ML-Driven Approaches

Artificial Intelligence (AI) means when software is programmed to learn from data and makes predictions or learns actions without being programmed to do it. Machine Learning (ML) allows predictive analytics and automated decision-making. Video surveillance and virtual personal assistants like Siri are examples of Machine learning while autonomous vehicles, face recognition, and spam filters are some popular applications of AI. AI and ML- driven approaches are expected to grow the most during 2022 because according to the survey conducted by Gartner, 40% of the infrastructure and operation teams in larger organizations will use AI- powered augmented solutions by 2023.

Cyber Security With DevSecOps

Cyber Security is essential in this tech-savvy world. Just a few clicks, and your company’s sensitive data will be leaked on the internet if you don’t have a foolproof cybersecurity plan. DevSecOps is expected to be the critical cybersecurity trend this year. DevSecOps combines development, security, and operation and improves the protection of the software products. It allows early detection of potential security risks and fixes vulnerabilities and holes in security with incredible ease. AquaSecurity, Codacy, and Prisma Cloud are some popular DevSecOps tools.

Cloud-Native Technology Domination

Cloud-native technologies will be the focus of software companies in 2022. Cloud-native is software designed to run inside distributed public, private, and hybrid clouds. Software companies need cloud-native technologies because of their effectiveness, efficiency and scalability. Draft, Jenkins X, Node.js, and Terraform are some popular tools that are used to build cloud-native apps.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is built on three new layers of technology: edge computing, decentralized data networks, and artificial intelligence. It is the upcoming generation of the internet where apps and websites will process information in a smart human-like way due to technologies like Machine Learning, decentralized ledger technology (DLT), and more. Originally named Semantic Web by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, the definition of web 3.0 is data that will be interconnected in a decentralized way. Web 3.0 is a huge step up from Web 2.0 where data is stored in a centralized way. Siri and Wolfram Alpha are some examples of web 3.0 applications.

Generative AI

Generative AI is an emerging technology that refers to AI techniques that learn a representation of artifacts from the data and use it to generate new original artifacts that preserve a likeness to the original data. Though the field may be futuristic, it has great scope and will progress rapidly in the upcoming years. Film restoration, Semantic-Image-To-Photo translation, and Image-To-Image conversation are some common applications of generative AI.
