Software Development Trends 2024: Green Technology and Beyond

The year 2024 seems to present a paradigm shift with various emerging trends in software industry that are shaping it with an equal emphasis on green technological solutions. Hence, if you are pondering upon what all those emerging trends are? Or intended to know and hopping towards such software development trends 2024 then this blog is just for you. Because, Rawdeck aims to help the companies and others in conceiving new ways for driving their operations frontward in order to benefit society, customers and their own upshot by posting this blog. Therefore, this reading will help you in staying afloat into the current software development trends.

Top Emerging trends in Software development you need to know in 2024

1. DApps for Blockchain Innovation

By introducing the Blockchain technology in the software development, this evolution supported the development of decentralized applications (DApps).  Decentralized Applications (DApps) are the applications that run on peer-to-peer (P2P) or blockchain rather than a single server/computer. These trending software applications offer upgraded autonomy, improved security and better transparency than the traditional ones. DApps appear to be in the spotlight this year 2024 as new ways of using blockchain for decentralized systems are discovered by the software development companies that provide control-free, flexible applications.

2. No-Code/Low-Code

No-Code and Low-Code approaches are the significant tools in latest application development. These approaches require little to no coding in order to develop processes and applications. It contributes in reducing app development time by 90%. Users with little or no advanced knowledge of coding can easily build the software with the help of these powerful intuitive techniques for various purposes. However, the companies, with the help of this trend, can easily create and deliver their business applications with least manual programming.

3. Server-less Computing

It is a model of cloud computing that enables the developers to generate and run the applications without having the hassle of managing servers. This model automatically allots and manages resources that are required to run the code. This computing expects out to be the major trend in 2024 an continue to grow at a CAGR (Compound annual growth rate) of 23.17% and above in between 2024 to 2029 because this evolution in software development market has brought major benefits for businesses and developers by offering improved scalability, cost savings, lesser complexities in operations, faster time to market, more digital transformations and more efficiency.

4. Ascendancy of Modern Languages

Under the umbrella of latest technologies in the software industry, new programming languages are introduced every year as per the rapid changes in industry’s demand in order to thrive. In 2024, the programming languages that are in top trends include Kotlin, Rust, TypeScript, Julia, Golang (Go), Elixir, PureScript, Swift and Dart mainly. Therefore, in this competitive industry, being up-to-date and proficient in on-demand programming languages can be a significant game changer for career growth and advancement. 

5. Extended Reality

Extended reality (XR) is a wide technological category that comprises of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR). This year witnesses a powerful presence of extended reality in the software development which includes:

• Analysis of data by interpreting and applying a greater amount of data for the quick solutions of the complex problems. 
• Presenting various design options to generate adaptable and dynamic solutions to the particular challenges
• Designing more realistic landscapes and avatars with the help of Generative AI. Companies like NVIDIA and Meta are generating and integrating such hyper realistic avatars into their operations.  
• Increased multisensory experiences (smell, touch and taste)

6. Progressive Web Applications (PWAs)

PWAs are a current approach in the world of web application development. This method combines the best components of mobile and web applications. PWAs are built by using several web technologies such as CSS, WebAssembly, HTML and JavaScript. With the standards compliant browser, they are designed to work on any specific platform including mobile devices and desktop. In 2024, PWAs remain the popular choice of developers because of their responsive and seamless user experience across devices and platforms. They are in demand due to their other significant features like swift loading time, offline access and low PWAs costs.

7. Platform Engineering

In the world of software, Platform engineering is a development strategy considering on designing and sustaining the platform of unified technology to support the requirements of several operations and development teams. This strategy has got a huge popularity in 2024 and will continue to gain more in the following years as Platform engineering helped the software industry in improving its scalability and efficiency to the greater extent.   

8. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

In earlier years when the concept of Artificial intelligence was brought onto the table, fewer companies accepted, opted and invested in AI with a cautious mindset. Now, due to its numerous benefits, AI software development has turned out from faddish to the fundamental. An AI induction in software development has accelerated, automated and simplified the complex tasks like never before. This current trend forecasts that AI will be the foundation for most developments, if not all, SaaS Solutions. For example, most ML (Machine Learning) and Ethical AI Models will enable SaaS technologies to constantly drive new and innovative efficiencies across numerous business processes.

9. Quantum Computing

It is a multi-disciplinary computing method that practices quantum mechanics for solving complex problems quicker than the classical computers. Quantum computing and software development can empower various applications that are out of reach of traditional computing like drug discovery to be taken to the limelight. Hence, in 2024, more breakthroughs are expected to see in the Quantum algorithms and generation of Quantum-ready applications.
