Webapper specializes in cloud consulting services. As an early adopter of cloud computing, we share insights from our experiences. %%page%%
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.
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?
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.
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.
As we help customers expand their cloud computing capabilities in AWS, we also find ourselves educating organizations not only in what is possible but also more efficient. To illustrate why serverless is gaining popularity in AWS and rival cloud platforms, we wanted to share 10 compelling serverless use cases that demonstrate the simplicity and cost savings it provides.
We've booted up our crystal ball, spread out our Technology Tarot cards, and decrypted subliminal messages to formulate our 2023 cloud forecast. Since Webapper started our cloud journey over a decade ago, we've tuned in to where the market is going. with that as our foundation, here's what we see coming in the next twelve months.
New technologies and architectural patterns are emerging all the time. Catching up outdated systems to leverage these developments is a noteworthy trend. You can choose from a range of modernization options, such as lift & shift, replatforming, rearchitecting, replacement, and retirement. If you're facing a huge backlog of technical debt, the answer may be application modernization. Simply stated, application modernization is a revolution that’s been brewing for years, and if you haven’t fully embraced it yet, check out its five pillars...
It's entirely possible to (needlessly) run up your storage costs using AWS. With metered usage including a variety of inputs, it makes sense to look for ways to control your Amazon S3 costs without losing the many benefits of using these tools. We explain what those inputs are, ways to manage them, and what tools you have available to keep an eye on costs.
Data is the lifeblood of any company today. Rare will you attend a business meeting without mentions of EBITDA, KPIs, OKRs, and a growing array of acronyms emblazoned on executive dashboards. We've morphed from starving to get enough data to swimming in it. We're now faced with a new challenge: making sense of data, turning data into useful information. And the way forward is data modernization.
Customers around the world use Amazon S3 buckets to store their data for websites, cloud-native applications, mobile apps and more. S3 offers scalability, high availability, and security. You can optimize costs using an array of service levels and use access controls to satisfy business, organizational, and compliance needs. Beyond the basics of storage, S3 offers more. A major advantage lies in AWS S3 interface options. We'll outline them to help you choose how you integrate S3 into your cloud strategy.
