In this chapter, we explored the basic definition of a DApp and a DIApp. We also contrasted both the solution architectures and design patterns of these two technologies. Based on the advantages of DIApps, we further explored the SDLC aspects of DIApps from ideation to release or deployment. The new economy of blockchain and AI requires a redefined SDLC that is inclusive of the new technologies involved. We have outlined the steps and processes to be considered before developing a DIApp.
In the next chapter, we will focus on applying the development aspects of the SDLC by developing sample applications on various blockchain platforms, along with common AI techniques.
