You may hear some of these common objections to cloud migration. We'll walk through them and explain where they originate and how to overcome them.
Many years ago, Webapper built a series of tools to help us manage various tasks for our cloud hosting clients. We called it CloudSee, and we still use it every day in our managed hosting. Last year, a client requested functionality that was missing from original CloudSee -- a file browser for AWS S3 buckets. We decided to build something completely new using latest and greatest methods. And now, a few months later, we have officially launched this tool. CloudSee Drive is here.
If you're evaluating cloud application development, you may consider outsourcing some or all of the programming effort. An outsourcing firm can supply needed additional technical talent, making it more efficient than using inside resources. Outsourcing is not for everyone, although it offers great benefits to many aspirational cloud organizations. To help our colleagues better understand the how and why, we share our views on outsourcing cloud application development from our many years of service.
We've written about test tools and processes before, but we were recently reminded of the importance of maximizing test coverage. We regularly experiment with testing tools and techniques, looking for better ways to deliver high quality modern applications. We share our insights to help you too...

Organizations of any size and in any industry can use Amazon S3 buckets to facilitate public cloud storage. In Amazon Web Services' (AWS), Simple Storage Service (S3) stores objects, which consist of data and descriptive metadata. Many companies deploy S3 for their websites, mobile apps, application file storage, and backups.
The recent service disruption on AWS was...interesting...to say the least. To help you understand the whole story of this AWS outage, we assembled a few stories that explain in more detail -- instant perspective.
When we wrote about our lack of confidence in ColdFusion, we received some pushback that we were being too hard on Adobe. But the truth that remains a few months later is that ColdFusion is nowhere near cloud native, and the support of cloud methods is just not enough for the long haul.
