Challenges of Present
People must carry on what they used to do
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the way the world operates.
More people are online...
More than 5 billion people now use the internet as of 2021.
Applications need to be shipped out fast and efficiently that ensures best user experience.
Developer experience and their ease is top priority.
Evolving challenges
Dependency

Security
Engagement & Experience
Developer Tools & Experience
Developer Tools and Experience
- Are there right tools available?
- Are they easy to learn and use?
- How easily can I solve complex problems?
- Code once, ship everywhere?
- Faster to production.
Accessibility
- Can we create something that is accessible by many?
Dependency
- Governments, financial institutions.
- Offices, business, schools etc.
Engagement & Experience
- How to improve user's experience
- How to monitor metrics
Security
- Is User data safe and well protected?
Performance
- Under immense load, can it work and be stable?
- Does it consume too much power?
Capabilities
- Can it run on multiple devices?
- Is the experience same across devices?
- Can different hardware devices be accessed?
Integrations
- How does other 3rd party services be seamlessly
be integrated?
Focus on Problem-Solvers
Maya, the digital health assistant's partnership with Google has increased the accuracy of Maya's natural language processing to above 90%. In 2020, Maya's platform reached over 10 million users.

In browsers you can enjoy video and audio, first-class platform with features background blur etc.
Using JS you can rotate and tilt maps in 3D.
You can access more devices like play games with gamepad from the browser, create IDEs in browser since file system can be accessed.
Most of the apps now have PWAs and runs on web and also installable, eg TikTok, Rakuten.
And PWAs are now easily highlighted and listed in the Play Stores with matured TWA apis.
Web is getting better!
Computing power to browser: Web Assembly
Evolved and Matured WebRTC
V8 is faster.
Compact image format: AVIF.
BFcache, lazy load images.
Maps JavaScript API WebGL beta!
More Hardware APIs
Core Web Vitals
Moving away from 3rd party cookies, with solution like FLoC etc
Web is getting better because..

Machine Learning is hard!
Mobile | Web | Cloud
TensorFlowHub for existing models.
Android + TensorflowLite Task library
TensorFlowLite provides the framework for a trained TensorFlow model to be compressed and deployed to a mobile or embedded application.
ML in web: Tensorflow.js all in browser
Machine Learning getting easier!
Mobile | Web | Cloud
Vertex AI
Simplifed, experiment and train
Train machine learning models without user datasets, Online console.
Transparent: Metrics to show what models are relying on to make predictions in order to improve transparency.
