Cloud Applications Development

A cloud-based app is an Internet-run program with components stored online, and some (or all) processes are executed in the cloud. Cloud application development also requires an advanced understanding of data architecture.

A key difference between regular web development and cloud app design is that a cloud-based application operates as a collection of interconnected services (APIs). At Vanxa, we work with your teams to help design, architect, and develop enterprise-grade applications and APIs to support your business cloud efforts.

Microservices Architecture

Microservices architecture is an approach in which a single application comprises many loosely coupled and independently deployable smaller services. It is the evolution of best-practice architectural principles that shape the delivery of business solutions as services.

Ideally, a microservice-based application should have multiple independent components, each responsible for a specific function, distributed, secured, and kept in sync via various communication channels. Each component should stay in touch with all other components to fully understand and support all network activities and future needs of the system.

Benefits of a microservices architecture:

  • Continuous delivery and deployment
  • Better scalability
  • Improved fault isolation
  • Greater flexibility
  • Smaller development teams
  • Higher software testability
  • Improved maintainability

Container Orchestration

Container orchestration is a big topic that has moved to the forefront of the discussion as the cloud computing industry has evolved. This trend results in a whole new group of technologies used to build, run, deploy, and manage cloud-based applications, and, by doing so, they prefer a microservices-based approach to building their platforms.

It is noteworthy that container applications have already emerged as the best choice to run microservices application architecture. Containers are already reporting a high success rate in migrating workloads to AWS and Azure.

While containers help increase developer productivity, orchestration tools offer many benefits to organizations seeking to optimize their DevOps and operations investments.

Benefits of container orchestration:

  • Efficient resource management
  • Seamless scaling of services
  • High availability
  • Low operational overhead at scale
  • A declarative model for most orchestration tools, reducing friction for more autonomous management
  • Operations-style Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) but manageable like Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  • Consistent operating experience across on-premises and public cloud providers

Serverless Functions

Amazon Web Services (AWS) introduced the general concept of serverless computing around 2014 with the release of AWS Lambda. Since they were the first to market, serverless functions are widely known as Lambda functions, regardless of the cloud platform. Google and Microsoft have their own serverless functions, named Google Cloud Functions and Azure Functions.

Serverless computing is a cloud computing model in which the platform dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. Sometimes, serverless computing is also called Function as a Service (FaaS) because the unit of code is a function that is executed by the platform. In fact, to execute each request, a separate container is quickly created and destroyed after execution.

Function as a service (FaaS) is an architectural template that assumes the ability to call an instance of the control code without the need for server and server application management.

Benefits of serverless functions:

  • The simplest way to run your code in the cloud
  • Automatically scales, highly available and fault-tolerant
  • Consistent performance at any scale
  • There are no servers to provision, manage, or patch
  • Pay only for running the code
  • Connects and extends other cloud services
