An introduction by Marko Klemetti, CTO, Eficode

This is the season to look back, to look forward: what movements have we seen while working with the DevOps community, and what should we expect to see more in 2022? Eficode identified five trends the DevOps community have their focus on, and wanted to share them with you.

Adopting design tools and practices to improve your security practices - by Kaisa Sarén, Software developer, Eficode

Adopting DevOps practices in a complex organization is also a design problem. And using design tools can be a solution. Severe security issues might rise quickly and extensively. With security woven into your continuous practices, you are able to react fast and effectively.

Web3 - by Kalle Mäkelä, Lead DevOps architect, Eficode

Web3 will decentralize the internet economy. With Web3, the interoperability between different platforms and the ownership of your data will create an endless amount of novel use cases where metaverse, decentralized autonomous organizations and peer-to-peer user experiences without centralized third parties will roam free. It is "your" job to understand the fundamental changes to the game and start learning about new possibilities. Web3 is kind of like the internet in the 90's - basically YOU can be the next Amazon or Google!

Putting a human in the middle - by Nicolaj Græsholt, DevOps consultant, Eficode

Managing servers requires an expensive skillset, and because of serverless, they've in large part made that unnecessary for the common software developer. So I expect to see the adoption of serverless more widely. How could companies embrace all this? Invest more into the skills of employees, get implicit and explicit knowledge sharing through Ensemble Programming. Make them superusers of the tools they use.

Coding assistants - by Marko Klemetti, CTO, Eficode

We've taken software development further away from the machine language and where low code seeks to solve similar problems, ai-backed coding will definitely be the future of digital applications. Next year we will see more similar coding assistants in the market, and it is the correct direction. Reusing code blocks and algorithms is just the next step to reusing frameworks and libraries.

DevOps replatforming - by Kalle Sirkesalo, CTO at Managed Services, Eficode

DevOps has come to the market to stay, and market leaders force companies lagging behind into replatforming their software development tooling. The question is: how do you make it easy? We at Eficode see a trend where large companies are taking advantage of the economies of scale by moving from their "own Jenkins masters" towards centralized DevOps platforms. We expect to see a continued trend of replatforming and rolling out modern DevOps tools to large organizations in every kind of business.
