The InfoQ Podcast - 2022 InfoQ Software Architecture & Design Trends
This is a re-post from April 2022.
Each year, InfoQ editors discuss what we’ve been observing across the entire software development landscape, and create several trends reports, each with its own graph of the adoption curve. This helps the editorial team focus its reporting on innovative technologies and ideas, and also provides our readers with a high-level overview of topics to keep an eye on.
There are two major components of these reports. The written report is published on InfoQ.com, and includes the trends graph and details on individual items that have been added or changed in the past year, as well a general analysis from the InfoQ editors.
The second part of the report is this episode of the InfoQ Podcast, which is a chance to listen in on part of the editors’ conversation and hear some anecdotal examples from our panel of expert practitioners.
