Why are hybrid applications so useful in many cases?

However, in the case of cloud solutions, the word hybrid refers mainly to solutions that mix cloud subsystems with on-premises subsystems. However, it can also refer to mixing web subsystems with device-specific subsystems, such as mobiles or any other device that runs code.

Due to the number of services Azure can provide and the number of design architectures that can be implemented, hybrid applications are probably the best answer to the main question addressed in this chapter: how to use the opportunities offered by the cloud in your projects.

Nowadays, many current projects are moving from an on-premises solution to a cloud architecture, and depending on where you are going to deliver these projects, you will still find many bad preconceptions regarding moving...
