Agility, ease of implementing changes and progressive scalability are the main advantages of this software architecture model.
Do it better, faster or cheaper. These are the simplest definitions of innovation sought by companies in general. And that's basically the recipe that makes the Cloud a necessity for developing and running applications.
The cloud structure model, whether private, public or hybrid, brings several benefits to companies, among them, time gain and agility in deliveries, with a high variable of resources that help the entire production ecosystem.
“Development tools evolve significantly and Cloud conditions allow for better quality deliveries. In addition to enabling teams, distributed globally, to operate independently but coordinated, with frequent changes within a possibility of agile and assertive monitoring”, emphasizes Rogério Athayde.
Keeggo's Head of Products highlights that the time gain also occurs because, in Cloud applications, the squads have greater automation of deliveries, and less concern with maintenance conditions. “The concern with the infrastructure becomes the cloud provider's. Thus, the specialist teams can dedicate themselves fully to innovations, improving products and other strategic aspects of the business”.
Flexibility and scalability in development
Another advantage of this type of structure is that it allows better development and use of applications, due to the flexibility and scalability provided by the cloud.
With this, all aspects of development can be designed and adapted according to demand, along with greater agility gain in meeting market needs.
“Response time to demands is shorter, as developers work in an environment that allows changes and adjustments to be implemented more quickly. The result of this, in addition to speed, is greater competitiveness in the market”, highlights Athayde.
The executive also explains that cloud development usually involves microservices, which are autonomous and easily integrated applications. This is another factor that brings agility to the model. “Because they are independent, they allow quick changes to solve specific problems, without affecting the functionality of other areas of the application”.
Open source and ease of adaptation and portability
In Cloud structures, open source tools are predominant. With this, the developed applications gain better execution portability, being able to be exercised in third-party cloud and local environments with minimal changes, and still being in accordance with all current security needs.
Athayde also points out, as an advantage of this architectural model, the better integration and intelligent use of data. “Naturally, cloud applications start to accumulate a history of data that are strategic for the business and that are easily integrated with other systems, allowing the intelligent use of this information in decision making”.
