One of the biggest shifts in IT software development is the move toward edge computing. As smart devices, IoT, and remote work become the norm, software must operate efficiently closer to the data source. This means apps that once relied heavily on centralized cloud systems are now being designed to process and analyze data at the edge—on devices or local servers.
This shift significantly reduces latency, increases responsiveness, and is particularly crucial for sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation, where milliseconds can impact outcomes.
In 2025, expect more decentralized apps (dApps) and microservice-based architectures that empower businesses to scale seamlessly, secure data locally, and reduce reliance on a single infrastructure provider.
