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.
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.
Online business software and cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications are a thousand times more powerful than what we had just a few years ago. But many business applications are poorly built. They don’t leverage and utilize many of the best, most sophisticated technologies available. Poorly designed, constructed, tested, hosted, and supported, these applications frustrate users and squander opportunity and productivity. To help you understand what all this means, here are the top 5 reasons your web application sucks. We also prescribe solutions for each issue to help you if you're in the throes of dealing with them.
