Current Trends in Software Development
Last updated: 4/1/2025
The software development industry is experiencing several transformative trends:- AI-driven development is accelerating coding processes through tools like GitHub Copilot and similar AI assistants.
- Low-code/no-code platforms are democratizing software creation, allowing non-technical users to build applications.
- DevSecOps integration is pushing security earlier into the development lifecycle.
- Microservices architectures continue to replace monolithic applications.
Cloud-native development has become the default approach for new applications, with [Amazon Web Services](#company) and [Microsoft Azure](#company) leading the infrastructure space. Meanwhile, emerging technologies like WebAssembly are expanding the capabilities of web applications.
The industry overlaps increasingly with [artificial intelligence](#industry) and [cybersecurity](#industry) sectors as these technologies become integral to modern software solutions.
