Recently, the traditional "Top strategic technology trends 2023" report was released, which mentions some of the pillars that promise to play a leading role in the business universe starting next year.

With sustainability in the spotlight, the other attributes that will surround the landscape are optimization, scalability, and pioneering spirit. According to the document, these characteristics will act as a support to allow organizations to address specific priorities to enhance the reliability of IT systems, accelerate the pace of deliveries, and promote strategic changes in business models, spreading team engagement, narrowing ties with the public, and exploring new digital markets.

In this regard, Gartner also cited some technology trends it considers relevant, taking into account consumption and behavior projections.

Continue reading and discover what they are in the article that the CodeBlog team prepared for you.

1. Observability

Based on the pillar of optimization, the concept of observability is the evolution of monitoring.

Recently, web applications have gained a more dynamic style, which allows different system components to be created and deployed individually across multiple platforms.

However, when scalability arises, traditional monitoring loses some of its efficiency, as it presents previously unknown conflicts and inconsistencies.

In this context, monitoring seeks to understand why something is breaking and then analyze potential long-term issues. But, most of the time, its performance is rather limited, since to be truly effective, it is necessary to know exactly which metrics must be tracked.

In contrast, observability is seen as a superset of monitoring and dictates that if a system can be observable, it can also be monitored.

Observation offers a large volume of information that helps with monitoring, allowing users to have total control over the system and understand how they behave in live environments, such as in cloud architectures.

This solution uses elements of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to analyze information and then make recommendations based on the data that is emitted by a company. In practice, it applies the architected use of data to guarantee faster and more consistent developments. When adopted by a company, it ensures faster processes and more assertive decision-making on the part of managers.

2. Industry Cloud Platforms

Focused on the scalability pillar, the cloud solution involves industry platforms that integrate Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and offer customized and industry-specific solutions.

As a business begins to grow and develop, it is natural for the company to reach its maximum capacity. When this occurs, the need arises for new investments in hardware which, if not implemented, can compromise team productivity and delivery results with slow and failing systems. Therefore, cloud systems are true allies of scalable processes. After all, with this solution, downloads and upgrades can be performed simply.

Furthermore, servers can always be updated to suit business needs.

According to data provided in the report, by 2027, more than 50% of enterprises will use technology to accelerate their business initiatives.

3. Metaverse

Since October 2021, when Mark Zuckerberg announced the change of Facebook's name to Meta, a big question mark has been planted in people's minds about what its flagship product will become: the metaverse. After all, how will it impact the digital environment?

Guided by the pillar of pioneering spirit, the metaverse is defined as a virtual space that allows users to replicate or enhance real experiences.

The technology transports or extends physical activities into the virtual world. According to studies conducted, it is expected that by 2026, more than a quarter of businesses will be present in the metaverse and that at least 25% of the world's population will spend at least 1 hour a day immersed in the digital environment.

There is no doubt that the metaverse is truly the hype of the moment. Proof of this is that some of the largest companies in the market are investing heavily in this platform. The justification for so many actions is very easy to understand: according to data collected by Bloomberg Intelligence Unit, this digital universe is forecast to generate around 800 billion dollars by 2024.

For this reason, the search for professionals specialized in the subject has also seen a significant increase. However, because it is a technology under construction, there are few people who master the subject. The scarce number of qualified professionals means that salaries in the area hover around R$10,000 for entry-level positions and reach up to R$30,000 for more strategic positions.

We at CodeBit believe in the power of technology and innovation, which is why, in addition to developing various digital solutions to facilitate the processes of private companies and third sector organizations, we always feed our blog and social networks with trends and information about the digital universe.
