Cloud Migration Benefits
At Webapper, we talk about cloud migration quite a bit. For us, cloud migration, especially to AWS, is exciting, challenging, and, well, essential to our business. Since we first set up shop in the cloud nearly a decade ago, we've been reaping the many rewards. That's why we've evangelized cloud computing, why we exited the traditional data centers, and why we've lashed onto AWS. If for some reason you're unsure, we've assembled a brief list of AWS cloud migration benefits. We think you'll understand what all the talk is about...
Cloud Migration Checklist
Cloud migration is an intricate process that requires extensive planning. A structured approach is mandatory for an effective and safe migration. Your strategy should define migration goals, set a timeline, and outline potential problems.
How to Run a Smart Content Marketing Campaign
Content marketing became all the rage around 2010. So much so that Google famously changed their search algorithm (the Panda update) to wipe out "content farms" that sucked up traffic with useless results. Since the goal of search engines is to answer your question in the best possible way, spammy results suck. So search engines now specifically address the searcher's intent — what are they really looking for? And the way search engines know how to respond is a wild cocktail of factors, including things like "the words on the page", the popularity of the page, and the popularity of the website containing the page. And that's what makes executing a smart content marketing campaign more important than ever. It's a long-term strategy that works, as shown in our examples. Your digital plans should include some of these ideas.
Managed Amazon Cloud Hosting
Modern technology offers a staggering number of jargon-laden offers. Although in many ways technology is more accessible, it's inherently more complex. And hosting is an area that reflects this. In addition to speed and power improvements, we've seen connectivity explode in this era, especially with the adoption of cloud computing. So to help you understand a bit more about what it all means, we'll explain what managed Amazon cloud hosting entails.
Single Point of Failure
Eliminating Single Point of Failure Problems At Webapper, we're somewhat obsessed with resiliency. Especially these days, we're looking for ways to help our clients and our own business become antifragile. It's one of the reasons we became a cloud services provider many years ago. The cloud makes eliminating single point of failure problems easier. And that idea is a strong focus in building resiliency at almost any level of any system or organization. What Is A Single Point of Failure (SPOF)? A single point of failure (SPOF) is a potential risk posed by a flaw in the [...]
AWS vs. Azure: Cloud Comparison
When it comes to the cloud, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure tower over the market. Although Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure offer similar cloud computing capabilities, one provider is not necessarily “better” than the other. Cloud customer success depends on specific business needs. To help you decide which is more amenable to your needs, we outline key differences when comparing AWS vs. Azure.

Serverless Application Development 101
A promising new approach in emerging technology is serverless application development. Proponents tout that you can focus on your application rather than the infrastructure it runs on. Serverless architectures rely on third-party “Backend as a Service” (BaaS) services like AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. As we'll outline here, this modern (at least for now) approach has some inherent advantages and disadvantages. If you're part of a software business, we'll help explain what serverless application is and why you would or would not want to use it.
Cloud Application 101
When someone uses a cloud application, it is a reference to software that is deployed in a "cloud environment" (like AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure) instead of being hosted on a local server or computer. We illustrate examples of 5 popular cloud applications.
