MobiDev’s Top 5 Software Development Trends for Startups

When one speaks of a startup software product development, business goals tend to dominate, though technologies play a significant role in achieving these goals. MobiDev discovers software development trends for startups within technologies that are optimally suited for mobile or web application development in 2022.

1. Flutter

Apart from the fast performance of the Flutter code, this framework is powered by Google and has numerous advantages, namely, a common UI and business logic on different platforms, a powerful rendering engine, and the possibility to update code and see introduced changes almost instantly. Unlike competing technologies, Flutter allows sharing more than 95% of the code between platforms, while, for instance, in React Native the same indicator doesn’t exceed 60–80%. 

2. React Native

Cross-platform development fostered by the application of React Native has been intensively evolving for at least 7 years. Nowadays, Bloomberg’s mobile application for iOS and Android, cross-platform Ads Manager application for Facebook, Restaurant Dashboard in UberEats, Discord iOS app, and different parts of Microsoft products – from OneDrive to Outlook – are built with the help of React Native technology. React Native is the preferred option for the developer-centric platform. 

3. PWA

On the one hand, PWAs are as discoverable as web applications. On the other hand, PWAs provide a seamless user experience comparable to native apps. Fewer PWAs’ functionalities derive from the restricted access to the hardware of the devices. However, the PWA approach may give you the winning edge if an app should be developed and deployed as fast as possible, with an affordable budget.

4. Headless CMS

It’s a scalable solution – headless CMS flexibility enables reusing content since it’s not united with the code. The features of the design in headless CMS allow managing content and APIs by users. Editors work together on content, which is then stored and delivered. Research and Markets forecast demonstrates that headless CMS is a promising direction – its software market is projected to reach US$ 1,628.6 million by 2027.

5. Firebase

Teams of different sizes use Firebase for building mobile and web applications since it includes convenient tools and services, namely, authentication, analytics, cloud messaging, real-time database, crashlytics for troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and test lab.
