Webapper provides modern application development and support services. Our blog includes articles on technical concepts, industry news and important trends.
Closing out the year affords the chance to see what went right, what went wrong, and what to do next. We wanted to share our insights to help you. Here are 7 critical areas for your information technology annual review.
We've been in the software business for the better part of three decades. Along the way, we learned that not every project is successful (more than two of three fail, actually). We've seen a few of the development behaviors that lead to project failure. When selecting a software vendor, you'll want to dig deep in some areas. We've assembled ten key things to consider for choosing the right custom application development company.
When we wrote about our lack of confidence in ColdFusion, we received some pushback that we were being too hard on Adobe. But the truth that remains a few months later is that ColdFusion is nowhere near cloud native, and the support of cloud methods is just not enough for the long haul.
The more we delve into DevOps, the more we appreciate it. It's definitely an upfront investment, but it gets us to a place where we move fast without breaking things. Based on our experience, we share our CI/CD tips...
Stack Overflow recently released “The 2021 Stack Overflow Developer Survey,” a report sharing the collective opinion of developers around the world about their habits, tools, needs, and compensation. Let’s look at what the survey reveals about cloud platforms, programming languages, web frameworks, databases, and other preferred tools.
A recent project at Webapper brought us back to three cornerstones of cloud migration strategy: rehost, replatform, rearchitect. In the near term, the goal is to rehost the application, a lift-and-shift migration to improve performance and set the stage for long-term, sustainable growth. But the roadmap is never a straight line...
We've had time to read through the results of the annual "State of ColdFusion" survey from TeraTech. It's a community-driven survey that tries to collect the sentiment of the ColdFusion community to identify trends. We wanted to share five key takeaways regarding the state of ColdFusion in 2021.
Webapper's CEO Patrick Quinn recently appeared on the Founders Focus podcast, where he spent some time describing "The Strangler Pattern". It's a technique we fully embrace at Webapper in our quest to migrate applications to cloud native architectures.
As Webapper builds a growing portfolio of serverless applications -- FaaS, as we've outlined before -- we are continually embracing AWS Lambdas. We'll share some of our thoughts and experiences on AWS Lambdas so you can see if they fit for your cloud application development projects.
In Functions as a Service architecture, all features of an application are deployed and hosted as individual, solo features. As a result, FaaS is a dynamic, fluid, cost-optimized model for modern application development.
