The network architecture is a valid concern but IPv6 is a thing and AFAIK it solves a lot of the problems. With the scarcity of IPv4 addresses, and the ubiquity of the connected devices the push appears to be finally here as hosting providers are ramping up the costs for IPv4. Besides, even if the client-server architecture is to remain, I expect to see significant simplifications on the algorithm deployments. By that, I mean server apps becoming easy to run and manage as WhatsApp on iPhone. No more complexities related on running python and all its libraries on Linux on some datacenter. Instead, it should be possible to have an app that just runs and takes care of some high level code that is possibly generated by AI. For example, maybe in near future we will be able to tell some LLM to create an app that does something useful for us(i.e. track orders on Shopyfy and send personalised questionnaire about the delivery) and deploy it to anywhere(own server at home, Amazon, DO etc.) and never think about the complexities of deployment and only deal with the value added part of the process.
