Scalability<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the largest benefits of the cloud is the ability to scale. &nbsp;In traditional server hosting, you have to determine the specific hardware that each node of your system would run on from the web\/application servers to the database servers. &nbsp;For highly available applications, you need load balancing of web and\/or application servers and database clustering that requires expensive SAN (storage-area network) configuration. &nbsp;All of this requires extensive planning and locks you into this general configuration for several years based on setup cost alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the advent of the cloud, you can now scale any portion of an application quickly and easily.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For web and application servers you can scale up by increasing hardware power or scale out by adding more servers. &nbsp;Furthermore, configuring auto-scaling will dynamically add more servers based on various metrics (CPU, memory, etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Databases can also be easily scaled by simply increasing the power of the server. &nbsp;For hosted SQL, these are measured in DTUs (Database Transaction Units) and represent a relative amount of processing power. In this model, you can create elastic database pools, which contains a fixed amount of processing power (DTUs) and share processing power with any number of databases. &nbsp;This allows each database to increase its scale when needed within the confines of the elastic pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, with the advent of microservices and Azure Service Fabric, you can design your application with very fine-grained services and host these in a set of fluid containers that scale automatically. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Cost<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A key benefit of using the cloud is the cost savings along with the ability to start small and increase usage as needed. &nbsp;A few economic benefits include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>No upfront investment<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On-premise or remote data centers require a large initial upfront investment. &nbsp;It also requires a lot of speculation for the current and future hardware requirements. &nbsp;As the customer base and application load increases, additional changes are required and would need new or replacement hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Pay-as-you-go<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For most cloud resources, you are only charged for the time you use. &nbsp;With features such as auto-scaling, you only get charged you for the additional servers when they\u2019re running and no cost when it\u2019s scaled down. &nbsp;Also, many services are priced per transaction, so if you don\u2019t use it to a certain level, it is completely free.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Redundancy and disaster recovery<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cloud offers increased redundancy, which can be critical when doing disaster recovery. &nbsp;Without the cloud, disaster recovery requires the provisioning of a separate data center (requiring an additional upfront and on-going investment), and the tools to replicate data or provide backups for restoring systems. &nbsp;The cloud can handle these out of the box and you are only paying for the hardware when you\u2019re using it. &nbsp;This means your disaster recovery environment can be configured and ready, and then scaled appropriately when needed. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Quick provisioning of resources<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quickly provisioning resources is a benefit that nearly all development teams can benefit from. &nbsp;They often need various types of resources from development and test environments to new types of technology in which to experiment. &nbsp;In typical IT shops, these tasks lie with the technical services team and can take days if not weeks to fulfill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By utilizing the cloud, <a href=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/app-cloud-hosting-biggest-advantages\/\">developers are empowered<\/a> to quickly create new environments, from websites to virtual machines to databases. &nbsp;In addition, the cloud offers an almost endless list of services that are constantly being expanded. &nbsp;This allows development teams to stay on top of ever-changing technology. &nbsp;Plus, when they are finished with any resource, they can quickly turn it off or decommission it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, the provisioning of resources can be fully scripted and automated. &nbsp;This can be used to quickly create new customer databases and servers, or create and decommission testing resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Multiple service models and offerings<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cloud doesn\u2019t conform to a one-size-fits-all mentality. &nbsp;Instead, it gives you a lot of different options to setup your environment to meet your unique needs. &nbsp;Two main service models in the cloud are <a href=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/top-iaas-providers\/\">Infrastructure as a Service <\/a>(IaaS) and <a href=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/top-azure-paas-services-developers\/\">Platform as a Service<\/a> (PaaS). &nbsp;Both of these have their merits, and you can even mix the two when needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"OFVsivY\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14342 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/img_59fc9c14be80f.png\" alt=\"PaaS and IaaS\" width=\"1950\" height=\"650\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Infrastructure as a Service refers to having your own infrastructure provisioned and managed over the internet. &nbsp;These include virtual machines, storage and networking components such as firewalls &amp; security. &nbsp;Your physical hardware is supported, but anything on top of the hardware, including the operating system and any software, is your responsibility along with the licensing. &nbsp;This includes security configuration, operating system updates &amp; patches, plus new versions of your software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Platform as a Service takes IaaS a couple steps further and takes care of the physical hardware plus the operating system and development software. &nbsp;They also handle all maintenance of the underlying environment. &nbsp;This limits the responsibility of the developer to building and deploying the application. &nbsp;PaaS offerings including websites, databases, and a large number of additional services. &nbsp;Each of these can be easily scaled based on the needs of your application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Geographic reach<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another benefit is the geographic reach of the cloud. &nbsp;Instead of relying on a single geographic location to host your software, the cloud makes it possible to host your application in data centers spread across the globe. &nbsp;With traffic management and global replication of master data, you ensure your customers the best possible performance regardless of where they are located.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Content delivery networks (CDNs) can also be used to increase geographic reach even if your application is hosted in a single location. &nbsp;A CDN is a highly-distributed set of servers that respond directly to user requests for web content. &nbsp;&nbsp;They are used to provide quick access to applications, audio, video, images and other files to accelerate content delivery and improve the user\u2019s experience. &nbsp;In addition, this reduces requests made directly to your application allowing it to better scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"vvLJesp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14343 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/img_59fc9c471dd05-300x265.png\" alt=\"Content delivery networks (CDNs)\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Ease of deployments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cloud offers some unique features to handle deployments. &nbsp;With integration into your source control system, you can configure automated builds including the deployment of code, databases, automatic provisioning of servers, and automated testing of your application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deployment slots also offer the potential to perform no downtime deployments in a production environment. &nbsp;A <a href=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/azure-deployment-slots\/\">deployment slot<\/a> is an entirely separate web application hosted at a separate URL (e.g. staging.yourapp.com). &nbsp;You can perform your deployment to the slot and test everything out. &nbsp;When all is well, you simply swap your production and staging slot to officially go live! &nbsp;Another cool feature is that you can actually route a small percentage of production traffic to your staging slot. &nbsp;This allows you to test new features in production and ensure all is well before opening the flood gates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[adinserter block=&#8221;33&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Advanced cloud services<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cloud puts many advanced services in the hands of developers to quickly build highly scalable and powerful applications. &nbsp;Here is a list of a few of these services:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Azure Service Fabric<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/service-fabric\/\">Azure Service Fabric<\/a> is used to simplify microservices development by managing and scaling service containers. &nbsp;This allows developers to focus on building the business logic and not on the problems of managing large distributed systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Service Bus<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/service-bus\/\">Service Bus<\/a> provides real-time messaging as a service (MaaS) and makes it easier to build loosely-coupled distributed systems.&nbsp; &nbsp;A service bus supports publish\/subscribe (one publisher and any number of subscribers) and queuing (first-in\/first out).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Redis Cache<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/cache\/\">Redis Cache<\/a> is an open source solution that provides a fast in-memory data store, cache, and message broker. &nbsp;It can be used as a session cache for web applications, full-page cache, queuing, and even pub\/sub.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>SendGrid<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sendgrid.com\/\">SendGrid<\/a> is an e-mail provider (SMTP relay) with the ability to track sent, opened, and clicked e-mails as well as handling unsubscribe requests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Azure Functions<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/functions\/\">Azure Functions<\/a> provide a way to execute code in a \u201cserverless\u201d environment by not requiring a deployment to a virtual machine or web application. &nbsp;You are charged by the number of executions and total processing time. &nbsp;They can be triggered by using an HTTP request, a timer, or monitoring queue\/blob storage. &nbsp;The code itself can be written in an on-line editor in a variety of languages, or a DLL (dynamic link library) module can be uploaded. &nbsp;These can be used to quickly add small tasks offloaded from your existing application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Monitoring and developer operations (DevOps)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In today\u2019s agile development world, we need to quickly deploy applications and <a href=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/retrace\/\">monitor<\/a> that everything is going well. &nbsp;When we have a critical issue, we first need to be notified about the issue, have the <a href=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/application-performance-management-tools\/\">tools<\/a> to quickly identify the cause, and publish a fix as soon as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tools like Stackify <a href=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/retrace\/\">Retrace<\/a> offers application performance metrics, errors, logs and monitoring in a single tool. &nbsp;It gives developers a unique view into all facets of their application and allows them to be proactive in identifying problems before users report them. &nbsp;Performance issues can be quickly identified down to the service request and even the SQL statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cloud has greatly matured in the last several years and adoption rates continue to rise. A recent study by RightScale found that over 50% of respondents are currently running applications in the cloud and these numbers continue to increase each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14344 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/stackify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/img_59fc9c8cb9390-1024x466.png\" alt=\"Cloud Maturity Adoption\" width=\"1024\" height=\"466\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your company and development team are not already benefiting from the cloud, now is the time to make your move!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has never been a better time to be a developer. &nbsp;Development tools and technologies continue to evolve that allow us to create better software. &nbsp;However, developers are under more pressure to decrease time to market, publish frequent enhancements, and reduce or eliminate bugs. &nbsp;The cloud offers several unique benefits to developers that can help.
