While early reports on the pandemic showed doom and gloom for global retail, some surprising trends are emerging.

There's now no longer any time for executives to put off their digital transformation until next quarter.

Design systems are often promoted or explained using technical language familiar to designers and developers who will use the system — that was our tactic when we started talking about design systems two years ago, and partnering in the community of practitioners. However, this approach fails to reach perhaps the most important audience: The decision-makers who will decide whether to commit the business's resources to implementing a design system.
Scale Design
Your design system is a living artifact. Like a spoken language, it will evolve over time as it is used by new groups—retaining its basic structure, but with new additions spurred by the speakers themselves.
Scale Design
A design system is a set of tools, processes, guidelines and philosophies that combine to drive how a team designs a product. The purpose of a design system is to not only systematize product development, but to also establish the processes that teams use to design, develop, test and more. As a tool, it sets the foundation for your digital experiences and products to look and feel consistent to users, increase efficiency and quality for your teams, and protect your brand across all your touchpoints in the market.

The road to a digital-first world is a highway. In the last decade, some industries have been overtaken by revolutionary new companies, while leaders in those markets struggled to hit the accelerator, and were slow to adapt and modernize their processes and products or services.
AWS Amplify brings together multiple AWS services (eg. S3, Lambda functions, DynamoDB etc.) by supplying a CLI, code libraries and premade UI (via their Amplify component library). These work together to generate the backend infrastructure required, as well as the communication and authentication between all the different AWS services. Amplify also writes all the specifications and config required to your project, so your infrastructure can be checked in to source control (infrastructure as code).
Creating your web application as a Progressive Web App (PWA) is a great way to provide app-like experiences for your users. These PWAs have offline capabilities, tend to load faster and can even send notifications to your users, increasing engagement with your product. After doing all this work, wouldn't it be great to allow your users to install your PWA to their phones using the regular Google Play Store? You're in luck! There is a simple way to do this using Trusted Web Activities (TWA).
Frontend Development
For companies still using Microsoft Silverlight, you may be concerned that a migration will put your teams way out of their depth. But there are several paths forward for your Silverlight application, and the options open to you don't necessarily have to sacrifice the current expertise of your staff, or your legacy codebase.

There's been a lot of excitement in the community about the upcoming module federation feature in Webpack 5. It will enable a much simpler and more practical setup for architecting and developing micro frontends compared to previous approaches.
