Future of DevTooling and Open Source

In the year 2025, only the most skeptical people do not believe that the AI revolution will change our world as much as the advent of the World Wide Web more than 30 years ago. If last year Cursor was used by individual enthusiasts, now the idea of increasing developer productivity through AI has captured the mind of the entire bigtech, and the CTO companies have received clear KPIs for the implementation of such tools.

However, development is only a part of the SDLC cycle, where planning, testing, assembly, deployment, and operation are present. Obviously, we want to speed up the entire cycle, not just a single component. Here we get into the field of platforms for creating digital products, and if we dig a little deeper, then the deployment infrastructure, cloud and on—premise. What changes and trends are waiting for us here in the near future?

And most importantly, the modern world cannot be conceived without open source, typical products in companies are made up of those very open source cubes. Therefore, often the task of creating an information system is to select and correctly integrate open source tools with proprietary data sources. Let's look at the future of open source, issues of its security and sustainable development in the context of the current trend towards deglobalization.

In simpler terms: how it is possible and necessary to develop open source in the future, get money and fame for it, as well as how to safely use this open source in companies.
