Focus on designing long-term solutions
Long-term solutions maintain user trust, minimize resource waste, and build a loyal user base by reducing the need for disruptive updates and mitigating the environmental impact of digital waste.
To ensure your product is sustainable:
- Employ a modular design that allows easy updates. Compared to monolithic design, where elements are interconnected and interdependent, in modular design, components can be easily replaced and can function independently.
- Implement scalability in your current design for growing user numbers. For example, your website should be accessible to 100 or 100,000 users without crashing by automatically adding servers as needed.
- Maintain a continuous user feedback loop to adapt to changing needs.
- Stay informed about emerging technologies and regulatory shifts to future-proof the product.
