Vibe Coding Boom Drives More Demand for Follow-Up Development... Inquiries Focus on Deployment and Stabilization
TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
As generative AI is used to write natural language-based code, known as 'vibe coding,' its adoption is also expanding.
At the stage of launching a live service, professional development capabilities such as deployment, data structure design, bug fixes, and stabilization are needed.
Inquiries about follow-up development for vibe coding at Kmong rose sharply in the first and second quarters this year, with demand centered on deployment and launch, DB and data structure, and bug fixes and stabilization.
As the use of 'vibe coding,' which involves writing code based on natural language using generative AI, spreads, its practical applications are also expanding. Vibe coding makes it possible to build basic web and app functions even without much development experience, but demand for professional developers is rising at the stage of turning those outputs into actual services.
At the stage of launching a live service, there are many cases that require separate development capabilities. The capabilities needed at this stage include deployment, data structure design, bug fixes, and stabilization.
According to a report from Kmong, inquiries about follow-up development for vibe coding more than doubled in the first quarter this year compared with the previous quarter. In the second quarter, they rose by about 200% from the previous quarter, and by about 550% compared with the fourth quarter last year, in just six months.
The area that drew the most inquiries was deployment and launch. The No. 2 area in demand was DB and data structure, followed by bug fixes and stabilization at No. 3.
At Kmong, while a wide range of request types have emerged, demand for review, consulting, and partial improvements to existing code has been more common than full redevelopment of a service from scratch. There were also many cases of partial development, in which only specific functions were assigned.
This demand has been driven mainly by small business owners and prospective entrepreneurs, with commerce and distribution accounting for the largest share by industry. Some users found it difficult to secure separate developers, and many chose to build basic services with AI before outsourcing only the necessary parts to outside experts.
Kmong is connecting users who are struggling with the vibe coding process with IT experts. Users can register their current development status and the problems they need solved, and the services available for request include code review, consulting, feature improvements, partial development, and full redevelopment.
A Kmong official said that while vibe coding has made it easier to directly bring ideas to life, there are still areas from launch through stable operations that require professional development capabilities. The official added that the company plans to support service completion by connecting users with the right experts at each necessary stage.
