Services
The cloud offers a myriad of server types and sizes, load balancers to distribute traffic, firewalls and security, virtual networks with gateways for the internet or existing networks.
The list of micro-services is continually growing; authentication, communication, media handling, AI, ML, ETL, storage, content delivery, voice recognition, event handling, message queues are just a few.
Cloud providers also offer many other technology services such as blockchain, robotics, call centres, Internet of Things, satellite communications, metaverse and much more.
Cloud microservice architectures make applications easier to scale and faster to develop, enabling innovation and accelerating the time-to-market for new features.
Cloud microservices enable small, independent teams that are able to take full product ownership while acting within a well understood context - greatly enhancing how we respond, and deliver to your needs.
Cloud providers operate a shared responsibility model where the provider takes all responsibility and obtains accreditation for the security, resilience and compliance of each service and the user has responsibility only for the configuration.
By enabling architectures that aren’t necessarily project specific, microservices lend themselves to better productivity through reusability. The rapid creation of independent services through repository cloning means we can quickly deliver to multiple projects, each configured to their own specific project requirements.
Service independence increases an application’s resistance to failure. In a monolithic architecture, if a single component fails, it may cause the entire application to fail. With microservices, applications handle total service failure by degrading functionality and not crashing the entire application.
