Webapper provides modern application development and support services. Our blog includes articles on technical concepts, industry news and important trends.
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.
The more likely you are to author tests, the better your results... Automation is the best way to increase test coverage, execution speed, and efficacy in software testing. Automated testing eliminates the tedium of manual, error-prone tests and facilitates unattended (e.g., overnight) testing. Automated testing is an important element in your CI/CD process, and Selenium is a powerful platform for it.
Quality Assurance (QA) directly affects customer experience. It's becoming more important to shift left -- moving testing earlier in the software development process to save time down the road. The importance of software testing cannot be understated. Technology issues can paralyze customers, so having smart processes in place for issue detection and remedy is not optional anymore.
A microservices architecture addresses the challenges of developing complex software. Switching away from monolithic architectures has made work easier for developers. They are no longer forced to maintain large codebases, and microservices enable them to focus on smaller scoping within projects.
To compete in fast-paced markets, companies must adapt to new methods for designing, building, and delivering applications. If you're still developing in a traditional, monolithic environment or are just getting started with a new software development project, we will explain why you need to consider a cloud native application development strategy.
If you're committing to developing a SaaS product (to take over your market!), you'll also want to evaluate technology stacks. Perhaps you have in-house expertise in something, but you'll want to verify that it's feasible for SaaS. Bear in mind that you'll be married to this platform for 5-10 years. We'll outline key factors you should address when choosing the best application development platform for your SaaS solution.
As a cloud technology partner, we wanted to share some ideas to help you find the best SaaS hosting partner for your SaaS app. Our goal is to help you when you 're shopping, to save you time, improve your outcome, and give you some peace of mind.
As a cloud technology partner, we share a common goal with clients: to deliver the best solution within budget and time constraints (which are actually good things). We achieve more via a shared understanding, strong process, and mutual enthusiasm about the project. Using this foundation, here's how you can keep your next project moving in the right direction...
