Evolution of the development of software: key trends and experience «Mifort»

The last five years have radically changed software development. The experts of «Mifort» continuously analyze these transformations to offer customers relevant and effective solutions

1. From monoliths to microservices and containers:

There has been a massive transition from cumbersome applications to microservice architecture. Now programs consist of many small, independent services. This has greatly increased the scalability, resiliency and speed of implementation of new functions. Containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) allow services to be packaged and managed, simplifying deployments and providing incredible flexibility that «Mifort» successfully uses.

2. DevOps and CI/CD. Speed and quality:

DevOps methodology and CI/CD (continuous integration and delivery) practices have become an integral part of the process. Automated code compilation, testing and deployment at each change reduces errors, speeds up the release of new versions and provides fast feedback. «Mifort» actively implements CI/CD, ensuring stability and high speed of functional delivery.

3. Cloud and Serverless:

The development of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) led to the emergence of Cloud-Native and Serverless architectures. Serverless allows you to focus on writing functions, which reduces operational costs and speeds up the development process.«Mifort» actively uses the potential of cloud solutions for maximum efficiency and economic benefits.

4. DevSecOps. Security from the beginning:

With the rise of cyber threats, security has begun to be integrated at all stages of development. DevSecOps principles include automated vulnerability scanning and code analysis within CI/CD. This makes it possible to detect and eliminate potential problems before they arise, because safety is a priority for «Mifort».

Current and future trends in software development:

Today, the core of software development is microservices, containers, DevOps, CI/CD, Serverless and DevSecOps. These approaches, forming scalable and secure software, will remain relevant and evolve.

Mifort highlights the key future trends:

1. AI-assisted development: tools with AI (for example, GitHub Copilot) will become the standard to improve performance.
2. Event-Driven Architectures (EDA): increasing use of event architecture to create flexible and reactive systems.
3. Low-code/No-code platforms: extending the application of these platforms, especially for business applications, by democratizing development.
4. Green development: increasing focus on optimizing code and infrastructure to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint.

The development world is constantly changing. «Mifort» is actively adapting to these changes, improving approaches and tools. Adaptability is the key to creating high quality and competitive products, guaranteeing success for customers.
