The future of web development is closely tied to the evolution of cloud computing, which has already changed the way that developers build and deploy applications. Trends like edge computing, which enables data processing closer to its source, will help reduce latency for real-time apps like Internet of Things-powered devices. A future where AI and machines have a prominent role to play in that cloud-based environment, now being able to plug in to provider platforms and simply build smarter, intelligent apps without a line of code. Moreover, multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies will give you more flexibility, and cloud-native development—using containers and microservices—will help you build scalable, efficient apps. Serverless computing will continue to be adopted, allowing developers to concentrate on code without infrastructure management. Developers need to keep building their skills in major cloud platforms, run through cloud-native tools like Docker and Kubernetes, and play with AI, serverless, and edge computing as it hits prime time.
