5 Software Development Trends of 2021

The pandemic that affected the world last year increased the world’s dependence on software and thus made software technology more important to everyone than ever. 2021 wouldn’t be any different either. Companies will continue to depend on software products to enhance customer experiences and augment business efficiency.

Hence, 2021 can be looked upon as a year of innovations and more sustainable and competitive technologies to help businesses create value and increase the return on investment. Accordingly, BrainMine, the software development company in Pune, talks about five software development trends of 2021.

The 5 Most Significant Software Development Trends of 2021

Let us glance through some of the most crucial software development trends of 2021.

  1. Cloud Was a Part of the History. Cloud will Form a Part of the Future!

Yes. Cloud was a part of the recent history of software development, and what’s even more exciting for cloud software engineers is the fact that they will have a lot of work coming their way in 2021! Why?

Cloud offers a higher degree of flexibility, security, and scalability. So, in other words, it offers almost everything that a company may require while developing customized software for its business. No wonder the cloud services industry, despite the hardships that 2020 brought to everyone’s table, earned a whopping USD 40 billion! That made the sector value to USD 266.5 billion, thus constituting a staggering 17% growth from the previous year.

So, sooner or later, companies, regardless of their business volume and the business domain, will adopt the cloud for software development in 2021. Thus, you can say that cloud is here to say and dominate. 

  • The Growth of IoT (Internet of Things) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

IoT isn’t new and has become a part of our lives. Remote working dominated 2020, and the situation in 2021 will remain more or less the same. So, this year will continue to stay an even more exciting and fruitful year for IoT, and companies working across the IoT space will keep engineering ways to make home-working even simpler and more delightful. And yes, that also defines the massive need for IoT software developers in 2021.

What about AI? AI isn’t lagging either! AI and its zillion use in the new-age business world indicate that it will be a part of software development in 2021. Some of the benefits of AI-powered software products include a better understanding of customers, buying patterns, offering more aligned proposals to customers’ requirements, better use of data to make informed business decisions, etc.

  • Native Applications will Dominate the Software Spectrum.

Native apps, with their focus, and therefore the comfort, ease of use, and efficiency that they deliver on a particular device will continue to shine on the global software development horizon. Accordingly, and because users will need focused applications with the highest concerns for user experience, 2021 will prove another promising year for native app development companies.

  • PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) will Form an Alternative.

On the one hand, where native applications are highly efficient, on the other, they demand a considerable investment. What do you do if you do not have the financial muscle to invest in native apps? Don’t worry, as 2021 gives you an alternative in the form of PWAs. Now, what are PWAs? PWAs are web apps that match the performance, security, sped, and user experience offered by native iOS and Android applications.

  • The world will continue to Love Python!

Python’s everywhere! Right from gaming to web development, to areas such as ML research, Python is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. The growth of AI and ML, on the other hand, are projected to prove momentous to the steady growth and recognition of Python. Additionally, Python is easy to learn, and its developers enjoy extensive community support to back innovations with quicker solutions.

Besides the above, the growing dominance of Blockchain, low-code and no-code development, use of sensors and scanners, cross-platform development, etc., form another set of software development trends in 2021.
