Custom software development involves various technologies such as programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, C#), frameworks (e.g., .NET, Angular, React), and databases (e.g., MySQL, MongoDB). The choice of technology depends on the project requirements, scalability needs, and performance goals.
Custom software development often involves a mix of various technologies depending on the project requirements, platform, and complexity. Here are some commonly used technologies categorized by their purpose:
1. Programming Languages
- JavaScript (with frameworks like React, Angular, Vue.js) — for front-end web apps
- Python — versatile, used for web back-end (Django, Flask), data processing, automation
- Java — enterprise-level applications, Android apps, web back-end (Spring)
- C# — Windows applications, web apps (ASP.NET), game development (Unity)
- PHP — server-side web development
- Ruby (with Ruby on Rails) — web applications
- Go — scalable back-end services and microservices
- Swift / Objective-C — iOS and macOS apps
- Kotlin — Android development
2. Frameworks and Libraries
- Front-end: React, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte
- Back-end: Node.js (Express.js), Django, Flask, Spring Boot, ASP.NET Core, Ruby on Rails, Laravel
- Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Xamarin
3. Databases
- Relational: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle DB
- NoSQL: MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, CouchDB
4. DevOps and Infrastructure
- Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform
- Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes
- CI/CD tools: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible
5. APIs and Integration
- RESTful APIs, GraphQL, gRPC
- Message brokers like RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka
6. Others
- Version Control: Git (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
- Testing Frameworks: Jest, Mocha, Selenium, JUnit, PyTest
- Project Management: Jira, Trello, Asana (not development tech but commonly integrated)
