3. The Impact of AI on Software Supply Chain Security

Post by rakhirhif8963 »

However, how developers design, implement, and deploy applications can also impact the amount of energy they consume—and, by extension, their sustainability. The concept of green software development isn’t entirely new, but it’s likely to gain more importance in the coming years as companies look for additional ways to reduce their carbon footprint.

Focusing on software supply chain security risks (meaning risks associated with third-party software, not the code a company writes itself) is also not a new topic. But new types of software supply chain security issues have emerged in the last couple of years, primarily due to the introduction of artificial intelligence.

One example is the “package” hallucination, which occurs when an AI model generates code that includes fictitious software dependencies. If threat actors create malicious dependencies with the same names as the fictitious ones, there is a risk that malicious code will end up in supply chains.

In the new year, we can expect increased pressure on software developers to understand such risks to AI-powered supply chains.

4. Reduce the use of microservices
Microservices, a software architecture that austria mobile database applications into individual services, have been a hot trend in software development for about a decade now. But microservices have obvious downsides, such as increased complexity. It’s safe to say that monoliths are in danger of making a comeback, and 2025 could well be the year that happens.

Don't expect microservices to go away—they won't, because they still offer important benefits for some use cases—but expect more developers to recognize in the coming year that microservices aren't always the best architecture.

5. Reducing the hype around AI development
When AI programming tools like Copilot came out a few years ago, it was a game changer for developers. The ability to generate relatively high-quality and reliable code in seconds saved a huge amount of time.

But now that it's 2025, AI-powered coding is no longer a novelty - it's commonplace, and the typical development team is already actively using it.
