"Software Architecture and Design Trends Report 2025 This report explores how architects are adapting to a world shaped by AI. As large language models (LLMs) become commonplace, attention is turning toward small, specialized models, agentic systems, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) as practical design patterns. Architects are now being asked to balance efficiency, quality, sustainability, and decentralized decision-making. Culture and Methods Trends Report 2025 This report highlights a parallel tension."
"AI, ML, and Data Engineering Trends Report 2025 In this report the focus shifts from AI as an assistant to AI as a co-creator. From agent-driven workflows and AI-enabled DevOps to emerging protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication, the industry is moving toward systems in which AI is an active participant in software delivery. At the same time, contributors emphasize the importance of grounding innovation in real human needs, particularly as we look ahead to physical and embodied AI."
Architects are adopting AI-shaped designs that favor small, specialized models, agentic systems, and retrieval-augmented generation while balancing efficiency, quality, sustainability, and decentralized decision-making. AI tools accelerate development but introduce risks to quality, collaboration, and learning; high-performing teams continue to depend on psychological safety, strong feedback loops, and shared ownership. Platform engineering emerges as an internal-product evolution that raises organizational challenges. AI, ML, and data engineering are moving toward AI as a co-creator with agent-driven workflows, AI-enabled DevOps, and protocols like MCP and A2A, with emphasis on grounding innovation in real human needs. Kubernetes remains a stable foundation for hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.
