Cloud Solutions
We build end to end cloud applications to help drive your business forward. With the cloud, we can deliver high performance solutions that are cost effective, agile, secure, reliable and scalable. We can take large monolithic applications and break them down into small chunks, which are coupled using microservice, and deploy them using Containers. This allows us to rapidly develop and deploy, then repeat this cycle for the required components, without affecting the entire application. Using containers and microservices together enhances cloud capabilities.
We’ll partner with you to provide the best cloud strategy for your situation. We can build custom job queues and custom scaling applications on top of the cloud infrastructure with custom metrics. This enables a smooth scaling without hitting bottle necks and delays.
Below are the primary components that are used when building custom cloud solutions. We design the solution utilizing only the components needed based on your application requirements. Our vast amount of hands on experience will allow us to build the perfect solution for your business needs. The need for a proper cloud setup is critical, which is why we continue to educate ourselves on the latest options. Ongoing calls with our cloud partners, allows for continuous education, along with attending conferences like AWS ReInvent, Rackspace Solve, and CES. Here is a brief description of the Methodologies/Technologies, and when and why they should be used.
Cloud Platforms
We are primarily using the below Cloud Platforms.
Amazon Cloud
Amazon Web Services offers reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services
Google Cloud
Build, innovate, and scale with Google Cloud Platform. Collaborate and be more productive with G Suite.
Rackspace Cloud
Build Hybrid solutions with dedicated & cloud infrastructure and offers managed data & security solutions.
Cloud Servers
Cloud Servers make it possible to spin a server up and running within a few minutes with unlimited scalability, flexibility, reliability, performance and without compromising security. Cloud servers offer more redundancy so that if one server fails, others will take its place via load balancer. With the help of server images, applications can be deployed rapidly on any number of servers with different memory/hdd/computing requirements as needed.
Cloud Storage
With Cloud Storage it is possible to store practically unlimited amounts of data, simply and cost effectively. It is commonly used for fast data transfer, web & mobile applications, persistent storage for analytics, video streaming, data archiving & backup. Resiliency options in the cloud storage makes the data available in multiple geographical regions and for the best availability and performance. It can also be used for Immutable object storage, data protection & security, native application data and durable storage. It is very flexible and can be used to store any kind of data.
Cloud Database
Data is the life line for any application, and cloud databases assist by offering all the usual benefits of scalability, reliability, security, performance, redundancy and backup. Cloud Databases offer solutions for regular transactional applications, non-relational databases and nosql databases, but it really shines in specialized offerings. The specialized offerings like data warehouse, ledger database, graph database, times series database, in-memory data store for caching and real-time workloads generally require a lot of expertise and expensive setups. Irrespective of the application demands, and specialized requirements your application has, Cloud Database has the solution in place for you right away.
Custom Cloud Scaling
Most of the cloud solutions offer some form of auto scaling, however they primarily scale by monitoring the usual suspects like CPU, Memory, Storage and Network. There are times where that is not sufficient, which is where custom scaling comes into place. We monitor application specific metrics and preemptively scale the resources accordingly. This helps deliver a smooth performance, avoid bottlenecks & delays and improve the overall performance of the application.
Containers
Containers provide a higher level of abstraction at the app layer and contains only the code and it’s dependencies. Containers provides app isolation, which in turn helps to run multiple apps on a single VM (or a physical machine) without having to worrying about overlapping of libraries and versions. Containers help developers to follow the mantra “build once, run anywhere”.
Serverless Environment
Serverless environment helps you focus primarily on the application development and make the underlying environment completely transparent. This is primarily used when with other cloud related services like Cloud Databases, Cloud Storage and other Cloud Services are in play.
Function as a Service (FaaS)
Serverless Computing is primarily implemented using Function as a Service.
Microservices
It is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of services that are highly maintainable, loosely coupled, independently deployable and customized around business capabilities. Microservices encapsulates all the above individual technologies and brings them together.
Data Pipelines
The need for end to end fault tolerant, repeatable and highly available automated data pipelines is extremely important. This becomes especially helpful when you generate data, rely on large amounts or multiple sources of data, iot stream data, maintain siloed data sources,and require real-time or highly sophisticated data analysis.
Cloud Hosting
Cloud hosting can be implemented in several ways, depending upon the application requirements. Once we gain the insights of your application functionality, the necessary components are chosen from myriad cloud computing options to suit the application needs. We help you focus on the application development by taking over the deployment and keeping the process extremely transparent. we take over the deployment and keep the process extremely transparent.
