STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR CLOUD APPLICATIONS
Webapper Shared Tips & Resources
Save time, deliver better customer experiences, and maximize your technology investment.
The Rise of MicroSaaS
Software-as-a-Service is huge. A staggering 99% of companies will use at least one SaaS product by the end of 2023. SaaS niches are dominated by a handful of vendors. For example, in CRM, it's Salesforce, Hubspot, ClickUp and Monday. Competitive markets don't preclude innovation though -- we're seeing the emergence of micro solutions to augment these big players. Witness the rise of microSaaS products.
Amazon S3 Browsers
Amazon S3 buckets are a foundational element of AWS. Unfortunately, S3 can become a dumping ground for media and data. Managing files on S3 can become unwieldy from the AWS Console, and dealing with the many use cases poses security challenges. One of the areas that administrators struggle is simple file management, which has led to an 'aftermarket' of tools. One such segment is Amazon S3 browsers.
Why ChatGPT is the Chatbot That Will Take Over the SaaS World
You've no doubt been deluged with stories about ChatGPT. ChatGPT is an important tool that can help improve communication, personalization, accessibility, and efficiency in a wide range of applications. We're all going to find many uses for it. We explain why ChatGPT is the chatbot will take over the SaaS world.
Amazon S3 Security Changes Are Coming
Amazon S3 buckets continue to be the core storage facility for cloud-based systems. The original goal was to ensure that organizations could use public buckets and objects easily, providing tools to limit public access. Because S3 has occasionally been a newsworthy security topic, AWS makes changes to shore them up. In April 2023, several important Amazon S3 security changes are coming, so if you use S3 buckets, you'll want to know what to expect. AWS will roll out the changes all AWS Regions within a few weeks.
Serverless Databases
Modern applications deliver better user experience, more stability, and lower costs, and development is streamlined and simplified. Serverless solutions free developers from infrastructure management. And serverless is not limited to application code -- there are database options too. We explore serverless databases on AWS.
Zero Trust Networks
Cybercrime is on the rise, driven by dramatic increases in random and targeted attacks. Threats continue to rise in complexity and scale, impacting businesses, essential services, and individuals. The effects include financial loss, business continuity, reduced productivity, damage to reputation, and legal liability issues. In response, Zero Trust Networking Access is emerging as a powerful mechanism to bolster organizational security.
What Is a Data Lakehouse?
Two years ago, when a colleague used the terms interchangeably, we wrote about data lakes vs. data warehouses. Over time, technology patterns advance, morph, and blur. Today we're using data lakehouses, a relatively new concept that blends the two models.
Does Anyone Use ColdFusion Anymore?
The tools we use for software development continuously evolve, enabling developers to write efficient, effective code to address changing market needs. Choosing a development platform is challenging because each software development framework carries advantages and disadvantages. Since we have a long CFML pedigree (and occasionally controversial opinions on the subject), we wanted to address a question we're asked regularly: does anyone use ColdFusion anymore?
Application Migration Services
We love exchanging ideas about application modernization and cloud migration -- it's what we do. Putting those concepts into another bucket, you could also say we love our involvement with application migration services. Technology morphs, paradigms shift, systems grow obsolete, and someone has to deliver continuity. Since application migration services are in our DNA, we wanted to share our roadmap, with a look into the potential benefits and challenges.
DevOps Forecast for 2023
Once again, we're prognosticating about what lies ahead, and this time we're sharing our DevOps forecast for 2023. As we continue to expand our own CI/CD pipeline and use of IaC, we learn more about the challenges. We see a few bumps in the road but also some exciting new trends that will evolve over the next few months.
