Technical growth is one of the key factors to the success of any company. An organization that intends to stay competitive and relevant will make every effort to adapt to the latest technological trends. Let’s take a look back at how technical Qxf2 was in 2021 and the growth we had.<\/p>\n\n

Brief<\/h3>\n

In this blog, we will try to uncover the most frequently used tech stacks, the most popular technologies, technologies that we employed at our clients, and technologies used for various internal projects at Qxf2 in 2021. We will also take a peek at the technologies that have seen a significant increase in usage compared to the previous year as well as technologies that have seen a steady decrease in usage.<\/p>\n

Technologies used for internal Projects<\/h3>\n

We worked on a wide variety of internal projects in 2021. In this section, we will take a look at the technologies that were used for these projects. The projects will be divided into three main sections: Microservices projects, IOT Projects, and Other miscellaneous projects.
\nTo get details on the individual projects we did, please refer to the following blog post What tech did Qxf2 work on in 2021<\/a><\/p>\n

Microservices projects<\/h5>\n

Microservice architecture is definitely one of the hottest topics in the IT industry. We worked on a variety of microservices-related internal projects last year with the use of tech stacks like AWS Lambda, CloudWatch, and more. The following is a word cloud representation of technologies that we used for these projects.

IOT projects<\/h5>\n

The Internet of Things (IoT) has progressed from science fiction to necessity in recent years. From smart automobiles to healthcare systems, it has impacted nearly every business and area of our life. We too worked on a few IOT projects in 2021. The following is a word cloud representation of the technologies that we used for these projects.
