Last few companies I've worked for were using what would be considered the latest trends in software development: SPAs, React, Redux, BFFs, monorepos, kubernetes... I can tell you, we're not reducing the need for developers at all... if anything we're building things so complex and overcomplicated that will require generations, and generations of developers to maintain an understand. So we're pretty safe for the time being...

Yes, then you have things that would really cut down the number of people working on the field, such as Heroku, App Engine, Firebase... but this is such a small factor due to the few companies using it that compared to the messes we're creating in other places I don't see it causing any collapse of the job market.
