As we kick-start 2021 in application and web development, two trends seem destined to continue their rapid growth: serverless and JavaScript development. That’s the whole premise of serverless, after all — where you don’t even need to configure the infrastructure, because it’s all managed for you.

Noël Jackson, director of development at studio.zeldman, told me that “there will be a huge acceleration in the no code space and application framework space” and that “web standards will gain momentum in these tools, but still behind where it should be.”

My take is “back to basics”: with a new generation of CI/CD tooling and increasing competition among specialized cloud offerings like @AzureStaticApps, web is returning to the “simple” for serving but complex for building static projects.”

Of course, I’ve just scratched the surface of what will happen in web development and at-scale app development over 2021.
