We live the cloud-first approach
Cloud applications are software components that are at least partially deployed in a cloud environment and are generally accessed primarily over the Internet. When developing and deploying cloud applications, you're not forced to expose your applications to everyone on the internet. Depending on your security and infrastructure needs, you can choose to have more or less control over the used infrastructure/hardware by deciding for private, public, hybrid or even multi-cloud solutions. Furthermore, proven authentication and authorization solutions allow you to control access to applications as you wish and require.
For most organizations and applications, the public cloud is the solution of choice, no matter whether the application is to be used internally, externally, or both. Known cloud providers, such as Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Hetzner offer flexible storage capabilities, computing power, networking capabilities and many additional services at low rates. You can scale as you require. Even if your company policies or regulations prohibit the usage of services of these companies, there are often alternative cloud providers which match your requirements.
The advantages of cloud-native applications over standard applications are founded by the usage of the cloud as well as the approach of application development itself. Check out the following article, to learn more about the evolution of application development.
Choosing the right cloud-native technologies and tools is important to unlock the full potential of cloud application development and maintenance. Therefore, you need to understand the underlying technologies so you can choose the best technology stack for your company.
How do you
Especially when transitioning to cloud application development, choosing the right tools can be difficult.
Automate! Automate! Automate your workflows! We do not like to perform tedious, time consuming tasks over and over again. Thus, we automate our cloud workflow as much as feasible. By doing so, we increase efficiency, productivity, security, and more.
Setting up our customer projects according to the cloud-native approach helps us to develop complex systems quickly and efficiently and to implement short, efficient release cycles. The following projects are a small excerpt from our past cloudnative projects.
