Functions as a Service Use Cases

We started building serverless applications a couple of years ago. As part of that we've become quite familiar with the concept of Functions as a Service -- our CloudSee Drive product uses them extensively. Functions as a Service (FaaS) allow developers to run individual code functions in response to events, without managing any underlying infrastructure. We wanted to provide a look at FaaS use cases, including useful examples, business reasons, and potential drawbacks.

How to Prevent and Manage Scope Creep

We've been working on some projects recently where the goal posts...moved. It's a common pattern in software development, especially with fast-paced businesses. In the old days of waterfall development, perhaps it was harder to do, but systems often arrived late, out of date, and brittle. With an agile approach, changes are faster and easier to include, which can create problems. Since it's a continuous challenge in software development -- especially in SaaS -- we explain how to prevent and manage scope creep.

Amazon S3 Backups

Having a smart backup strategy for Amazon S3 is important. A common failure of backups is not having a clear understanding around the potential disasters you must defend against. From simple things like accidentally overwriting a file to losing your entire AWS account, you must ensure the integrity and availability of your data.

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.
