Optimize your Cloud Efforts
2 biggest mistakes in cloud transitions? Not adopting your applications to architectures that can be optimized in the cloud.
1) Container based architecture - After
a basic "lift and shift" your focus needs to be in making your
applications modular and able to operate within Docker containers. Your
application will then be able to better utilize all of the cloud resources
you are paying for vs spending money on allocated resources that are not
being leveraged.
2) Serverless architecture - Your focus
on your application optimization needs to center around making your
applications more service/message oriented and able to easily adapt,
integrate, and grow with different technology stacks. AWS lambda is one
way you can build functions into your application without the requirement
of a separate server for it to function. The move to serverless
architectures will reduce your overall maintenance cost and make your
applications easier to maintain.
Microservices and containers - why should you care?
Building your applications in this manner enables you to easily deploy
them w ithout concern to configurations and dependencies across different
environments. You eliminate the "worked on my box" problem. It further
simplifies application scale ability and deployment of new versions.
Continuous Integration and Deployment
Moving into the cloud is a perfect time to optimize your process. Our
engineers have implemented today's latest tool sets and can help you
achieve a development environment that is repeatable and reliable.
Leverage your CI setup using automated testing to meet short delivery
schedules and high availability.
Our engineers can assist with Jenkins, Nexus, Git, and similar tools to
ensure you have a defined development process that meet mission needs.
