How to Ease Cloud Application Development

Page history last edited by Scalex Technologies 4 years, 4 months ago

Cloud programming tools vary a lot from conventional systems and their performance can slow in unusual ways. Integration too takes on a new level of intricacy. To meet these challenges, enterprises should develop unique, new best practices and leverage cloud-native development technologies, too.

 

Additionally, nowadays, brands are embracing Cloud computing. And according to the recent Computerworld Forecast Study – around 76 percent of businesses have already started moving their data center infrastructure to Cloud. And in the near future, more deployments are on the way.

 

Typically the application development process involves a whole series of interactions among the development team and other members of one or more business units. Then the groups closely work together to plan design specifications, write the kink-free code, rigorously test the system, and eventually successfully deliver the application. And with the cloud, the process largely remains the same, but there are a few crucial differences. Here are five tips to help you ease your Cloud application development:

 

Move from your comfort zone

 

Conventional development has largely relied on tried-and-tested programming environments, like Microsoft's .Net or Oracle's Java Platform Enterprise Edition. But these options are only good for improving existing infrastructure. Today even Cloud means working with various platforms.

 

Focus on performance

 

Performance challenges can create hurdles in system development and cloud comes with its own new challenges. Data may even extend out across the various data centers and travel from the US to Europe or Asia. And that challenge becomes very difficult with the public cloud because the customer doesn't look to control the size of the pipe which is coming into the provider's website.

 

Understanding the ripple effects

 

Moreover, businesses interact more closely with their partners and customers. And that means extending applications to outsiders' systems. Since Cloud enables brands and businesses to extend their systems vastly and share data and processes, but well-versed developers must understand the consequences of sharing these systems with others. Coders and Programmers who have always focused on their own systems don't always completely understand the consequences of connecting with other applications in the Cloud.

 

You should be aware of the integration challenges

 

Cloud only increases integration complexity. Today applications consist of lots of small modules that easily interact with each other. And from the logistics perspective, tracking the connections rigorously and simply figuring out what is associated with what can be a bit tiresome.

 

Watch those system resources

 

One of the other cloud-native development challenges is to accidentally waste money on Cloud service fees. Nowadays, application development is highly dynamic, and system configurations are constantly in fluidity. Even virtual machines are allocated for a test for one day and are still running weeks later.

 

With conventional systems, such inaccuracy is now a not big deal. All you need to do is to pay for the electricity needed so that the server keeps running. But that doesn't add pointedly to operating expenditures.

 

Nowadays Cloud offers companies a lot of potential benefits, including added flexibility, agility, and lower costs. But in order to ensure that the cost of development is as efficient as possible, brands and businesses are required to understand the key differences and take the required steps to diminish these potential shortcomings.
